Commanders Score 27 Straight Points to End Eagles' Winless Streak at Six

Philadelphia has lost six straight games, a streak that ended with another defeat on Sunday night in Landover, Md. The Eagles were shut out in the final three-plus quarters by the Washington Commanders, who won 27-10. It was Washington's first victory in over a month and a break in its own rough start.

Washington coach Dan Quinn admitted the team needed a warm-up period after a bye week. "When you come off of a bye, you either rev right up or you need a minute to warm up, and we took a minute," he said. The Commanders started slowly, committing multiple penalties that allowed the Eagles to build a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.

Philadelphia's drive stalled after that. Quarterback Tanner McKee, starting for the injured Jalen Hurts for the third time, threw for 212 yards without a touchdown. Before the final drive, the Eagles' longest possession covered only 52 yards. The Commanders defense sacked McKee five times and intercepted one pass, holding the total offense to 268 yards. Of that total, 199 yards came during the final drive.

Washington's offense clicked after the initial stumble. Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown. He connected with Stefon Diggs for an eight-yard score in the second quarter, tying the game at 10. That win marked Daniels' first as a starter since beating the Los Angeles Chargers on October 5, 2025. "It's a blessing from God just to go out there, and everything I've been through in my career so far," Daniels said, citing injuries and setbacks.

Kicker Drew Stevens provided the margin of victory, booting four field goals for Washington. His first attempt from 55 yards was missed, and running back Chig Okonkwo fumbled. However, Stevens converted a 56-yarder late in the first quarter to give Washington a 13-10 lead at halftime. The Commanders then outscored the Eagles 14-0 in the second half.

Philadelphia's offense struggled to gain ground. Saquon Barkley ran for a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter but was limited to 30 yards on 13 carries. The team finished with 91 rushing yards. Eagle kicker Jake Elliott cut the lead to three points in the fourth quarter with a field goal, but he had to attempt it twice due to an illegal formation penalty and missed the second try from 41 yards.

Coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged the team's position at the bottom of the league. "I know nobody feels sorry for us, that's for damn sure," Sirianni said. "Everyone is going to give us their best shot. I know nobody feels sorry for us and we have to do everything we can do to fix it so we don't have this feeling for the last six games. Obviously, it sucks."

The Commanders remain in the NFC East race, sitting two games behind the New York Giants despite opening the season 1-6. The Eagles, last in the division, will host the Giants next Sunday. Washington will host the Los Angeles Rams the same day. Michael Carter of the Eagles left the game with an abdominal injury, while Washington running back Jeremy McNichols left with a left foot injury.
