The Philadelphia Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the NFL following a 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for two touchdowns in the narrow win, which stretched the Eagles’ winning streak to five games.
After a back-and-forth affair through most of the game, the Eagles were able to put their nose in front with less than two minutes to go courtesy of a 23-yard field goal from kicker Cameron Dicker.
Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray was then able to lead the Cardinals into scoring territory, but kicker Matt Ammendola missed a 43-yard field goal attempt which would have forced overtime.

It also came down to a field goal in Baltimore, with Justin Tucker succeeding on a 43-yard attempt of his own to push the Ravens past the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17.
A one-yard sneak from quarterback Joe Burrow looked to have been enough for the Bengals to clinch victory, until Tucker sealed the result as the clock expired.
Burrow finished with one passing and one rushing touchdown, while Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had one passing touchdown on just 174 yards through the air.
The Chicago Bears were left licking their wounds after a late fumble cost them in a seven-point loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Wide-receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette was running upfield at Minnesota’s 39-yard line with the clock running out when he lost control of the ball, resigning the Bears to a second-straight defeat.
