Eagles vs. Commanders: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Philadelphia launched its 2026 campaign at Lincoln Financial Field on September 13 by squeaking past Washington 24-22. Holding a 14-9 advantage at the break, the hosts leaned on Jalen Hurts, who completed 14 of his 25 throws for 203 yards, zero picks, and a trio of scoring passes to propel the offense alongside Dallas Goedert.

Despite pass-protection lapses, a scoreless third quarter, and rough outings from Cooper DeJean and the offensive front, head coach Nick Sirianni and Hurts preserved their flawless 6-0 track record in Week 1 matchups.

Washington nearly pulled off a fourth-quarter comeback behind Jayden Daniels, who connected on two late touchdowns. After finding the end zone inside the final two minutes, the visitors failed on a critical two-point attempt that would have deadlocked the contest.

The road defeat dropped the Commanders to 0-1, though Daniels, Sonny Styles, and the defensive unit flashed promise, while Philadelphia benefited from contributions across the roster by Saquon Barkley, Dontayvion Wicks, and Makai Lemon under Sean Mannion.
