The Washington Commanders scored 27 consecutive points to overcome a first-quarter penalty spree and defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 on Sunday night in Landover.
The Eagles fell to a sixth consecutive loss, extending a losing streak that has left them in last place in the NFC East. Washington improved to 2-4-1, its first win since October 5, 2025.
The Commanders started slowly, committing multiple penalties that put them behind 10-0 after the first quarter. Saquon Barkley ran for a 3-yard touchdown to establish the Eagles' early lead. Despite the start, quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, connecting with Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard score in the second quarter. Kicker Drew Stevens added four field goals, including a 56-yard attempt late in the first quarter, to help Washington take a 13-10 lead at halftime.
The defense took control in the second half, holding the Eagles to a shutout for the final three-plus quarters. Washington sacked Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee five times and intercepted one pass. The Eagles were limited to 268 total yards, with their longest drive before the final possession measuring just 52 yards. Barkley finished with 30 yards on 13 carries.
Washington coach Dan Quinn attributed the slow start to the team coming off a bye week. He said the team needed time to warm up after the break. Daniels described the victory as a blessing, citing the various injuries and setbacks he has faced during his career. Cornerback Trey Amos noted that the team made adjustments after a slow start, allowing the group to figure out a plan that worked in later quarters.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that opponents are playing with extra motivation against his team. He stated that the team must fix its performance to avoid carrying this feeling into the final six games. Barkley agreed, noting that teams are taking shots at Philadelphia and that the team is no longer viewed as the dominant force in the league.
Both teams committed costly penalties during the game. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed a 41-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter after having to retry it due to an illegal formation penalty. The Eagles' safety Michael Carter suffered an abdominal injury, while Washington running back Jeremy McNichols left the game with a left foot injury.
The Eagles will host the New York Giants on Sunday. The Commanders will host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
