Barkley and the offensive line continue to be a perfect match, as they opened up holes in the defense for Barkley to exploit. They kept Jalen Hurts clean throughout the night, as he was sacked only once.

For a fourth game this season, Brown eclipsed 100 receiving yards. In the absence of DeVonta Smith, the 27-year-old receiver was Hurts’ go-to target, racking up six receptions for 109 yards (18.2 yards per catch) and a touchdown.
