The Takeaway: Not much new to see in the Eagles’ escape over the Commanders

Philadelphia kicked off its campaign at Lincoln Financial Field by edging the Washington Commanders 24-22, maintaining head coach Nick Sirianni's unblemished 6-0 record in season debuts. Jalen Hurts steered the offense by tallying 203 passing yards and connecting for three touchdowns, linking up effectively alongside targets like Dallas Goedert.

Despite those scoring strikes, the host team struggled through third-quarter stagnation and pass protection issues that kept the divisional contest uncomfortably tight.

The outcome ultimately hinged on a dramatic defensive stand in the final minutes. After Washington scored to pull within two points with just 1:01 left on the clock, Philadelphia defender Moro Ojomo thwarted the visitors' potential game-tying two-point conversion to preserve the narrow triumph.
