The Philadelphia Eagles solidified their NFC East lead with a thrilling 26-18 victory over the Washington Commanders, scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter. Saquon Barkley was instrumental, rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns, while Jalen Hurts contributed with a touchdown run.
The Eagles' defense, led by Vic Fangio, performed admirably, limiting rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and securing a pivotal interception. Despite a rough night for kicker Jake Elliott, the Eagles extended their winning streak to six games.
Meanwhile, the Commanders struggled offensively, failing to match the Eagles' output and falling behind in the division race. Coach Dan Quinn's team will need to find more offensive consistency to remain competitive.
