Commanders play tough in Philly but lose by 2 points – All aTwitter

The Washington Commanders dropped their 2026 regular-season opener at Lincoln Financial Field on September 13, suffering a narrow 24-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington's offense struggled to find rhythm early in the defensive battle, but quarterback Jayden Daniels mounted a late push by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in one of those final-quarter scores, while rookie wideout Antonio Williams also delivered a standout performance for the visitors.

Despite the late offensive surge alongside promising defensive contributions from Sonny Styles, head coach Dan Quinn's squad could not overcome costly big plays conceded throughout the contest. Ultimately, Washington's spirited comeback attempt fell just two points short against their NFC East rivals.
