SECOND QUARTER10:46 — Eagles 10, Commanders 3An unblocked pressure leads to a sack of Tanner McKee and a drive that stalled out. Saquon Barkley was on the sideline the whole time, working out his hamstring and back injuries. Elijah Mitchell had some juice. It just didn’t lead to anything due to another missed assignment on the offensive line. Shy Tuttle was very excited to get this sack 😤PHIvsWAS on NBC/PeacockStream on @NFLPluspic.twitter.com/sE63qDQrN7— NFL (@NFL) November 2, 2026FIRST QUARTER0:28 — Eagles 10, Commanders 3Washington answers with a 56-yard field goal by Drew Stevens. The Commanders got the ground game going a bit there. But Jayden Daniels is not on the mark so far. Had a wide-open receiver on third down and sailed it out of bounds. 4:27 — Eagles 10, Commanders 0After a couple of Commanders penalties, Drew Mukuba forced a fumble on tight end Chig Okonkwo, recovered by Zack Baun. A few plays later, Saquon Barkley found the end zone. Barkley snagged a 24-yard wheel route completion. Then, Barkley went in the Wildcat with offensive lineman Willie Lampkin as the fullback. Barkley scored from a few yards out. The Birds’ 10-point lead is their largest in a game since Week 4.

Tanner McKee had a nicely layered 19-yard completion to Makai Lemon followed by a 12-yard completion to Darius Cooper with the blitz in his face. The Eagles stalled out, but a couple of good signs to build on.

Three-and-out for the Eagles and a punt. Saquon Barkley is out there at least. 12:09 — Eagles 0, Commanders 0This game has already had a bit of everything. The Eagles allowed a 44-yard opening kickoff return; the kickoff coverage team has been brutal this year. Washington got it down into field-goal range. Eagles safety Drew Mukuba got hurt on an offsides free play INT. Then the Commanders had two straight false starts to back them up from a third-and-1 to a third-and-11. Washington had to settle for a long field goal try, which Drew Stevens missed.
