13:15 4th — Saints 45, Eagles 7: On 4th down and 7 at the Eagles' 38, New Orleans went for it and Drew Brees threw a deep ball that Alvin Kamara hauled in for a 38-yard touchdown play.

0:00 3rd: Rasul Douglas suffered a knee injury.

5:34 3rd — Saints 38, Eagles 7: Mark Ingram capped off a 7-play, 41-yard drive with a plunge over the goal line. Meanwhile, the Eagles' offense continues to do very little.

11:20 3rd — Saints 31, Eagles 7: Michael Thomas caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees.

14:23 3rd: Jason Kelce is back to being questionable instead of out. Sidney Jones is also questionable with a hamstring injury.

8:49 2nd — Saints 17, Eagles 7: Josh Adams scored his first career touchdown with an impressive 28-yard run up the middle.

12:07 2nd — Saints 17, Eagles 0: New Orleans kept rolling right through the Birds' defense, as Mark Ingram capped off a 10-play, 84-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run. Meanwhile, Jason Kelce is out of the game for good with an elbow injury, and Avonte Maddox is out with a knee injury.

2:49 1st: One play after being sacked, Carson Wentz was intercepted by Marshon Lattimore throwing a deep pass into double coverage that Nelson Agholor really had no chance to catch.

3:17 1st — Saints 10, Eagles 0: Drew Brees threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Carr. Earlier in the drive, Eagles safety Avonte Maddox suffered what appeared to be a bad injury. Jason Kelce is also out of the game for now with an elbow injury. He is questionable to return.

9:10 1st — Saints 3, Eagles 0: After the Birds went three-and-out on their opening drive for the sixth time this season, the Saints went down the field fairly easily, but the Eagles' defense managed to hold them to a 38-yard Will Lutz field goal.
