Commanders vs Eagles Final Score: Washington Scores 27 Unanswered to Beat Philadelphia 27-10 on Sunday Night
Philadelphia led 10-0 in the first quarter and never scored again. Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, Drew Stevens kicked four field goals, and Washington's defense sacked Tanner McKee four times as the Commanders won 27-10 - Philadelphia's sixth straight loss, its first six-game skid since 2012.
Sunday night's game flipped early and never flipped back. Philadelphia took a 10-0 first-quarter lead over Washington, and the Commanders then scored 27 unanswered points to win 27-10 on Sunday Night Football, NBC Sports reported in a file opened and read directly by the desk this run. It is the breaking final of this cycle's wire window: the game ended inside the window, at 11:29 p.m. Eastern by USA TODAY's live file.
Washington's defense owned the night after the first quarter. With Tanner McKee starting his third game in place of Jalen Hurts, the Commanders sacked McKee four times and recorded nine official quarterback hits, NBC Sports reported. Saquon Barkley was limited to 30 yards on 13 carries, including his 3-yard first-quarter touchdown - Philadelphia's only touchdown of the night.
The Commanders' points came in layers. Jayden Daniels finished 16-of-29 for 217 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions - the touchdown to Stefon Diggs, who had three catches for 38 yards - and it is the first time Daniels has won a game since October 2025, NBC Sports reported. Treylon Burks led Washington's receivers with three catches for 81 yards. Kicker Drew Stevens supplied the rest of the margin: field goals from 56 yards in the first quarter, 39 yards for a three-point halftime lead, 25 in the third quarter and 42 in the fourth, per NBC Sports and the Delaware News Journal's live file read this run.
The sequence that summed up Philadelphia's season came in the fourth quarter, both files agree: Jake Elliott's 36-yard field goal was negated by an illegal-formation penalty, and his re-try from 41 yards hit the top of the left upright and bounced out, leaving the Eagles still trailing. The loss is Philadelphia's sixth straight - the franchise's first six-game losing streak since 2012, and the last time the team started 2-6 was 1999, NBC Sports reported. Philadelphia (2-6) hosts the 4-2-1 Giants next weekend; Washington (2-4-1) hosts the 4-4 Rams in Week 9.
