The Washington Commanders pulled together after an extraordinarily sloppy first quarter to score 27 straight points in a 27-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Washington’s first win in more than a month, and Philadelphia’s sixth straight loss.
“When you come off of a bye, you either rev right up or you need a minute to warm up — and we took a minute,” Washington coach Dan Quinn said.
The Commanders (2-4-1) committed a bevy of first-quarter penalties, which put them behind 10-0.
Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, as the offense got rolling. Aided by a defense that pitched a shutout for the final three-plus quarters, Daniels had time to build rapport with his receivers absent Terry McLaurin. The victory was Daniels’ first as a starter since beating the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 5, 2025.
