The Washington Commanders defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 in Landover, Maryland.
Washington Overcomes Sloppy Start
Washington committed five false starts that spotted Philadelphia an early 10-0 lead. The victory improved the Commanders to 2-4-1 on the season.
The Commanders’ defense sacked quarterback Tanner McKee five times. Philadelphia managed few explosive plays in the running game, with the longest run of the night being a 15-yard scramble by McKee.
Philadelphia Extends Losing Streak to Six Games
The Eagles plummeted to the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-6 record after dropping their sixth straight game. McKee threw for yards, but the Philadelphia running game lacked explosiveness as Saquon Barkley averaged 2.3 yards per carry, scoring the team’s lone touchdown on a direct snap.
The Eagles’ offensive line allowed nine tackles for loss, eight quarterback hits, and five sacks. Head coach Nick Sirianni admitted the struggles fall squarely on his shoulders. McKee also fumbled away a scoring opportunity in the third quarter while in field goal range.
“Just need to be better everywhere,” Sirianni said. “Until we coach better, until we have better with our detail as coaches, until our players play with better detail, then we’re going to see the same results. And that falls on me. I feel like with all the detail that’s not happening right now, I got to try a different approach.”
