The Washington Commanders secured a 27-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in a mistake-ridden NFC East prime-time matchup on Sunday night.
The contest started poorly for Washington, which fell into an early 10-0 hole after a sloppy first quarter. An early fumble by tight end Chig Okonkwo set up a touchdown run by Saquon Barkley for Philadelphia. However, the Eagles failed to score again for the rest of the game as their offense stalled under backup quarterback Tanner McKee, who faced heavy pressure behind a diminished offensive line.
Washington responded before halftime when quarterback Jayden Daniels connected with Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard touchdown. A late field goal gave the Commanders a 13-10 edge at the break. Washington ultimately scored 27 unanswered points to pull away, improving their record to 2-4-1. Daniels finished with 217 passing yards and a touchdown.
The loss extends the injury-plagued Eagles' losing streak to six games as they played without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts. Missed opportunities, penalties, and a missed field goal in the second half doomed Philadelphia's chances of a comeback, capped by a late interception and a touchdown run by Rachaad White that sealed the outcome.
