PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley’s wicked run defied gravity. The former high school high jumper used a reverse leap over the head of a defender to get a first down, a spontaneous, stupendous feat that left the Eagles — and much of the sports world — gobsmacked.
Barkley went high, then chalked up the move to a higher power.

“Sometimes,” he said, “you just gotta let go and let your God-given instincts take over.”
Philadelphia (6-2) has learned through eight games it might be best for coach Nick Sirianni to let go and trust Barkley to take over the offense.
At his best, Barkley’s play has risen to the ranks of best in the NFL, and his otherworldly runs have made him one of the best free-agent signings of the offseason.
Barkley’s performances over the last four games — including 199 total yards and two TDs in a win over Jacksonville — are a critical reason why the Eagles have won four straight games since their bye.
“We knew he was special. Just when you’re preparing to play against special players in this league, they tend to take so much of your time up of you thinking about them and you preparing to stop them,” Sirianni said. “I think when you’re around him on a daily basis it’s safe to say, yes, that he’s even more special than I could have even imagined.”
Yes, the Eagles have feasted on a schedule that went heavy on some of the worst teams in the NFL, but it’s how they’ve corrected some early-season flaws that made them a threat again in the NFC.
The Eagles seemed a bit like a Barkley run through the first four games of the season — headed backward.
Now look at the Birds — they’ve taken a Saquontum Leap forward.
Jalen Hurts was a turnover machine, with four interceptions and five fumbles in the first four games. Over the last four, no turnovers, six passing touchdowns and six rushing scores. After scoring three touchdowns in the season opener, Barkley was limited to 28 total carries in consecutive games against Tampa Bay and Cleveland. He has since ripped off three straight 100-yard rushing games, including 159 yards against the Jaguars.
The Eagles even scored their first points in the first quarter this season.
Up next are games against Dallas and Washington that should go a long way toward deciding who wins the NFC East.
The offense. Hurts has found his groove, Barkley is perhaps the best running back in the NFL and the Eagles have sliced their turnovers since the tough first four games to make them a force in the division. The Eagles are third in the NFL in rushing offense and tied for second in rushing touchdowns.
Short yardage. The Eagles were hailed the last two seasons for their “tush push” play that led to nearly automatic first downs and touchdowns.
But their short-yardage gambles have missed in critical times this season, and the failures were on full display against Jacksonville.
The Eagles went 0 for 2 on fourth down, choosing to try to extend drives instead of going for field goals inside of 45 yards. They also failed three times on 2-point conversion attempts, including twice when Hurts was stopped on the tush push.
“You can’t overreact to a play that’s had as much success as that’s had the last three years,” Sirianni said Monday. “So we have a ton of confidence in it.”
That's how a 22-0 lead in the third quarter became a 28-23 win secured only by Nakobe Dean's game-saving interception in the end zone.
Barkley. He's the highest-paid running back in franchise history and — on a day when the franchise's career leading rusher in LeSean McCoy was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame — he could turn out to be the best one ever out of the backfield.
Barkley already has topped 1,000-plus scrimmage yards for the season, just the third Eagles player since the 1970 NFL merger to reach that milestone in the first eight games, joining McCoy (2011 and 2013) and Brian Westbrook (2007).
He also joined McCoy in 2011 (1,009 yards and 11 TDs) as the only Eagles players to have 1,000 or more scrimmage yards and eight-plus TDs through the first eight games of a season.
He's the third Eagles player to rush for 100-plus yards in three straight games, joining Westbrook (2006) and Wilbert Montgomery (1978, ’79 and ’81). He is the first Eagles player with five 100-plus yard games through eight games since McCoy in 2013 (seven).
Sirianni. He jaws with fans. His quizzical play-calling leaves points on the table. It took some cajoling from players to run the ball more. Is he too passionate? Too arrogant? Does he pander too much?
Sirianni absorbs his share of fair criticism — it's hard to imagine all his coaching misfires wouldn't have cost the Eagles against a team better than the Jaguars.
There's room for improvement on the sideline. Here's the issue for all the Sirianni haters, though: He wins. With three playoff appearances, a Super Bowl trip and now a four-game winning streak, Sirianni's hot seat has turned as cool as a park bench on a crisp fall day.
The Eagles lost 1,000-yard wide receiver A.J. Brown to a knee injury. Brown's injury did not appear to be serious, but he already missed three games this season with a hamstring injury.
Sirianni said Monday that Brown was in “good spirits” but had no further update on his receiver's condition.
28-43 — The Eagles have bolstered their record by playing some of the worst teams in the NFL. Their last three opponents — the Jaguars, Bengals and Giants — have a combined eight wins. The second-half schedule toughens up, with two games against Washington and matchups with Baltimore and the Rams on tap.
The Eagles can't afford a slipup as they head to Dallas on Sunday to play the 3-5 Cowboys. Get past that rival and a Thursday night showdown with Washington looms with first place in the NFC East potentially at stake.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump made their final pitches to voters Monday in the same part of Pennsylvania at roughly the same time, spending the last full day of the presidential campaign in a state that could make or break their chances.
Focusing on Pennsylvania's southeast corner, Trump took the stage in Reading, about 30 miles from Allentown, where Harris held her own event about half an hour later.
“If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole ball of wax,” Trump said. “It’s over.”
Indeed, a Trump victory in Pennsylvania, flipping its 19 Electoral College votes, would puncture the Democrats' “blue wall” and make it harder for Harris to win the necessary 270 votes.
Harris, the Democratic nominee, spent all of Monday in Pennsylvania, the largest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome, and offered a similarly blunt assessment.
“We need everyone in Pennsylvania to vote,” she said. “You are going to make the difference in this election.”
In addition to Allentown, Harris visited Scranton — the birthplace of President Joe Biden — and Reading and had a stop planned in Pittsburgh before ending with a late-night Philadelphia rally that was to include Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey.
“Are you ready to do this?” Harris yelled Monday in Scranton, with a large handmade “VOTE FOR FREEDOM” sign behind her and a similar “VOTE” banner to her side.
Trump went first to North Carolina before visiting Reading. He then headed to Pittsburgh, at the opposite end of the state, before concluding in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he will hold his last campaign rally in the same place he concluded his 2016 and 2020 runs.
Southeast Pennsylvania is home to thousands of Latinos, including a sizable Puerto Rican population. Harris and her allies have repeatedly hit Trump for a comedian's dig at Puerto Rico during the former president's marquee Madison Square Garden event. The comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”
“It was absurd,” said German Vega, a Dominican American who lives in Reading and became a U.S. citizen in 2015. “It bothered so many people — even many Republicans. It wasn’t right, and I feel that Trump should have apologized to Latinos.”
But Emilio Feliciano, 43, waited outside Reading’s Santander Arena for a chance to take a photo of Trump’s motorcade. He dismissed the comments about Puerto Rico despite his family being Puerto Rican, saying he cares about the economy and that’s why he will vote for Trump.
“Is the border going to be safe? Are you going to keep crime down? That’s what I care about,” he said.
Harris told the crowd, “I stand here proud of my long-standing commitment to Puerto Rico and her people."
“And I will be a president for all Americans," she said, adding that “momentum is on our side. Can you feel it?”
Trump, meanwhile, stuck to talking about his proposed crackdown on immigration. He called to the stage Patty Morin, the mother of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, who was found dead a day after she went missing during a trip to go hiking. Officials say the suspect in her death, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country of El Salvador.
About 77 million Americans have voted early. A victory by either side would be unprecedented.
Trump winning would make him the first incoming president to have been indicted and convicted of a felony, after his hush-money trial in New York. He will gain the power to end other federal investigations pending against him. Trump would also become only the second president in history to win nonconsecutive White House terms, after Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century.
Harris is vying to become the first woman, first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to reach the Oval Office — four years after she broke the same barriers in national office by becoming President Joe Biden’s second in command.
The vice president ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket after Biden’s disastrous performance in a June debate set into motion his withdrawal from the race — one of a series of convulsions that hit this year’s campaign.
Trump survived by millimeters an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. His Secret Service detail foiled a second attempt in September, when a gunman had set up a rifle as Trump golfed at one of his courses in Florida.
Harris, 60, has pitched herself as a generational change from 81-year-old Biden and Trump, who is 78. She’s emphasized her support for abortion rights after the 2022 Supreme Court decision that ended the constitutional right to abortion services, and she has regularly noted the former president’s role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Assembling a coalition ranging from progressives such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney, Harris has called Trump a threat to democracy and late in the campaign even embraced the critique that Trump is accurately described as a “ fascist.”
Heading into Monday, Harris has mostly stopped mentioning Trump by name, calling him instead “the other guy.” She is promising to solve problems and seek consensus.
Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said on a call with reporters that not saying Trump’s name was deliberate because voters “want to see in their leader an optimistic, hopeful, patriotic vision for the future.”
Harris also offered some insights into her personal formation as a politician that she doesn't often divulge. In Scranton, she talked about once being a longshot while running for San Francisco district attorney in 2002 and how she “used to campaign with my ironing board.”
“I’d walk to the front of the grocery store, outside, and I would stand up my ironing board because, you see, an ironing board makes a really great standing desk,” the vice president said, recalling how she would tape her posters to the outside of the board, fill the top with flyers and “require people to talk to me as they walked in and out.”
In Allentown, Harris rallied with rapper Fat Joe. She then made her own visit to Reading after Trump's rally had concluded, visiting Old San Juan Cafe, a Puerto Rican restaurant, with Ocasio-Cortez. Both Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, and Ocasio-Cortez are of Puerto Rican heritage.
Supporters chanted “Sí se puede” and “Kamala” as the vice president’s motorcade pulled up. Once inside, Harris chatted with some diners, even mixing in “Gracias” and a few Spanish words. The vice president later ordered cassava, yellow rice and pork, saying, “I'm very hungry" as she noted that she's been too busy campaigning to find time for many meals.
To pay, she asked her team to hand over her credit card.
Standing in line for Harris’ Allentown rally, 54-year-old Ron Kessler, an Air Force veteran and Republican-turned-Democrat, said he planned to vote for just the second time in his life. Kessler said that, for a long time, he didn’t vote, thinking the country “would vote for the correct candidate.”
But “now that I’m older and much more wiser, I believe it’s important, it’s my civic duty. And it’s important that I vote for myself and I vote for the democracy and the country.”
As recently as Sunday, Trump renewed his false claims that U.S. elections are rigged against him, mused about violence against journalists and said he “ shouldn’t have left” the White House in 2021 — dark turns that have overshadowed another anchor of his closing argument: “Kamala broke it. I will fix it.”
