          PHILADELPHIA -- The Jacksonville Jaguars might want to consider getting defensive end Travon Walker some carries going forward.

          Walker picked up a Saquon Barkley fumble at the 35-yard line, bounced off right guard Mekhi Becton, broke out of an attempted tackle by wide receiver Johnny Wilson, put a move on quarterback Jalen Hurts at the 4-yard line and scored a touchdown to turn what had been a rout to that point into a close game.

          Evan Engram's catch for the 2-point conversion cut the Eagles' lead to 22-16 with a little more than five minutes remaining in the third quarter.

          Walker's 35-yard return equaled the Jaguars' rushing total to that point.
