Overview
- Philadelphia won 24-22 on a string of high-leverage plays that included Jalen Carter’s blocked PAT, Moro Ojomo’s tackle on Washington’s failed two-point try, a 22-yard Jalen Hurts scramble, and a 43-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert.
- Jalen Hurts finished as the game’s catalyst, completing 14 of 25 passes for about 203 yards with three touchdowns and adding 46 rushing yards, including the third-quarter-changing scramble that sustained the go-ahead drive.
- The Eagles produced several explosive plays but stalled after halftime, opening the second half with multiple three-and-outs and managing only 59 yards in the third quarter.
- Philadelphia’s interior offensive line was repeatedly exposed, with Landon Dickerson flagged for penalties and credited with pressures that disrupted runs and Hurts’ pocket, and the team generated just one sack on Washington’s quarterback.
- Washington’s retooled defense showed real improvement and Jayden Daniels led a late touchdown drive to make it close, leaving the Commanders optimistic and the Eagles facing an early test of whether the offense can fix its line and consistency.
