The Eagles faced a challenging game against the Washington Commanders after quarterback Jalen Hurts was sidelined due to a potential concussion from a hit by linebacker Frankie Luvu. The incident raised concerns about the legality of the hit, which went unpenalized.
With Hurts out, Kenny Pickett stepped in, showcasing both promise and struggle. He managed to throw a touchdown but also threw an interception that led to a Commanders touchdown. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley shone with a 68-yard touchdown run.
The Eagles' focus now shifts to Hurts' health, as his concussion could jeopardize his availability for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, impacting their pursuit of the NFC East title.
