The Washington Commanders suffered a 26-18 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, dropping their record to 7-4 and placing them 1.5 games behind in the NFC East. Despite a strong performance for three quarters, the team faltered in the fourth, raising questions about their playoff prospects.

However, panic is unwarranted at this stage. With six games remaining, including four against non-playoff contenders, the Commanders remain in a good position for a playoff push. Key players like Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler showed promise, indicating potential for improvement.
