Commanders report card: Team grades in NFL Week 1 loss to Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a tight 24-22 road victory against the Washington Commanders to kick off Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. Jalen Hurts directed Philadelphia's offensive effort by delivering three touchdown passes, connecting effectively with target Dallas Goedert while weathering an uneven showing by the offensive line and a turbulent third quarter.

Washington staged a late rally behind quarterback Jayden Daniels, who connected for a pair of fourth-quarter scoring throws following a sluggish opening stretch. Although the Commanders crossed the goal line within the final two minutes to pull within two points, their subsequent two-point conversion try was thwarted by Philadelphia's defense, sealing the divisional defeat in the regular-season debut for Washington's new coordinators, David Blough and Daronte Jones.
