The Eagles battled the Jaguars, the refs, and their own coaches before walking away with a win on Sunday. 

The game was closer than it should have been, but it's still a W. In the end, the Birds were simply much more talented than the Jags. Here are the seven plays that proved it:

7) Saquon Barkley 1st-quarter TD catch

Barkley reeled in a 20-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to give the Birds an early lead. First-quarter points for the first time this season!

6) Sydney Brown blows up punt return, Kelee Ringo recovers the fumble

A fantastic special teams play set up Barkley's TD catch.

5) Saquon Barkley 19-yard TD run on 3rd & 17

Barkley put the Eagles up 16-0 with this run and it looked like the Birds might put this one away early. (Spoiler alert: they did not.)

4) Ridiculous catch by Jahan Dotson

DaVonta Smith and AJ Brown are incredible, but the Eagles have been searching for production from a third receiver. Maybe this Jahan Dotson catch gets him going.

3) DeVonta Smith TD catch

After the Birds' lead dwindled to six points, DeVonta Smith showed off some of the best hands in the NFL. On 3rd & 22:

2) Saquon Barkley reverse hurdle

You can make an argument for this run at # 1. Have you ever in your life seen a running back slip from a spin move into a reverse hurdle over a defender? Barkley even stuck the landing.

1) Nakobe Dean game-sealing interception

As incredible as the other six plays were, none of them would mean anything if the Birds didn't come up with one last stop. God bless Nakobe Dean.
