RB Saquon Barkley has rushed for 95-plus yards in consecutive games for the first time since December 2019 with the Giants. He scored three touchdowns in the opener and had 116 scrimmage yards (95 rushing, 21 receiving) last week.

RB Alvin Kamara 290 yards and five TDs from scrimmage in the first two games of the season, including 198 yards and four TDs rushing and seven catches for 92 yards and a TD receiving.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts against a Saints' pass rush that has seven sacks times in two games. Hurts is an elite scrambler, who has 118 yards and a TD rushing this season. And he has given the Saints fits in the past. In two starts against the Saints (2020 and 2021), Hurts has 175 yards and three TDs rushing.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown and Johnny Wilson missed practices this week with hamstring injuries. Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest), DT Khalen Saunders (calf), OT Landon Young (foot) and LB D'Marco Jackson (calf) also missed practices. CB Marshon Lattimore, who left New Orleans' Week 1 game with a hamstring injury and did not play in Week 2, returned to practice on a limited basis this week.

The Eagles have won two of the past three regular-season meetings. Hurts played in both victories but did not play because of an injury when these teams last met near the end of the 2022 season. Gardner Minshew started that game for Philadelphia. The Eagles last won a game in New Orleans in 2007. Since then, they've lost two regular-season games in 2012 and 2018, and a playoff game in January 2019.

Hurts rushed for a season-high 85 yards and a TD in Week 2. It was his fifth regular-season game with at least 85 yards on the ground. Hurts has 42 TDs rushing in his career and can tie Steve Young (43) for third most by a QB in NFL history. ... WR Devonta Smith had seven catches for 76 yards and a TD last week. ... Eagles LB Zack Baun, a Saints third-round draft choice in 2020, had nine tackles in Week 2. His 24 tackles this season are tied for the NFC lead. ... DT Milton Williams had his first sack of the season last week. He also had a sack in the Eagles' previous meeting with the Saints. ... Eagles S C.J. Gardner-Johnson spent his first three NFL seasons with New Orleans ... The Saints have scored 91 points, the most by a team in the first two games of a season in 15 years and tied for fourth most by a team in its first two games of a season in NFL history. ... Saints QB Derek Carr has five TDs passing and a TD rushing in two games. ... Two of Carr's TD passes have been to WR Rashid Shaheed for 59 yards in Week 1 and 70 yards in Week 2. ... WR Chris Olave had 81 yards receiving last week. ... DE Carl Granderson had 1 1/2 sacks last week. ... CB Alontae Taylor had two tackles for loss in Week 2 and a career-high three sacks in Week 1. ... S Tyrann Mathieu intercepted a pass last week, giving him 34 interceptions for his career, second most among active players. ... CB Paulson Adebo had his eighth-career INT last week.

The versatile Kamara, who had 180 scrimmage yards and four TDs last week, has been New Orleans' most productive player early this season, and his role might increase even more with Hill potentially sidelined this week.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Jake Sanderson scored 15 seconds into overtime and the Ottawa Senators stretched their win streak to six games with a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.

It’s the first time since March 2017 that Ottawa has won six in a row.

Shane Pinto scored twice for the Senators, Claude Giroux added a goal and Josh Norris scored short-handed. Sanderson also contributed a pair of assists.

Leevi Merilainen stopped 21 shots to earn his first NHL victory.

Brock Boeser scored twice for the Canucks, and Quinn Hughes had a goal and two assists. Jake DeBrusk rounded out the scoring for a Vancouver side that lost its third straight outing (0-1-2). Kevin Lankinen made 17 saves.

Canucks: The team has lost four of its last five outings and some of its top stars have gone cold offensively. J.T. Miller has not scored in the six games he’s played since returning from a 10-game absence, Elias Pettersson does not have a point in his last six outings and Conor Garland last recorded a goal on Nov. 29.

Senators: Merilainen stepped in for Linus Ullmark, who has been a superstar for Ottawa in recent weeks. Heading into Saturday, Ullmark had powered the team to five straight victories after backup Anton Forsberg went down with an injury during a pre-game skate on Dec. 14.

Boeser knotted the score at 4 with 4:50 left in the game when he blasted a rebound past Merilainen.

Hughes now has 40 points on the season (eight goals, 32 assists). He is the seventh defenseman in NHL history to hit the mark in 33 or fewer games in multiple seasons.

The Senators visit the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, and the Canucks host the San Jose Sharks on Monday.
