In a thrilling matchup, the Washington Commanders overcame five turnovers to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33. Quarterback Jayden Daniels spearheaded the remarkable comeback, throwing three of his five touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. The Commanders trailed 27-14 entering the final period, but Daniels connected with Olamide Zaccheaus for two crucial touchdowns, including a 49-yarder that gave Washington the lead.
Despite regaining the lead with two late field goals from Jake Elliott, the Eagles couldn't hold off Daniels and the Commanders. With just six seconds remaining, Daniels found Jamison Crowder in the end zone for the game-winning score.
Daniels finished the game 24-of-39 for 258 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions. While Washington's offense struggled with turnovers, including two fumbles lost by Brian Robinson Jr. and one by Dyami Brown, they capitalized on the Eagles' loss of starting quarterback Jalen Hurts to a concussion in the first quarter. Backup Kenny Pickett threw for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while being sacked three times.
Although Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had a strong performance with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and A.J. Brown contributed eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, Philadelphia's offense faltered after a dominant first quarter.
With the win, Washington improves to 10-5, their first 10-win season since 2012, while the Eagles drop to 12-3.
