The Commanders have gotten back in the win column.While Philadelphia took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, it was all Washington from then on, with the club coming away with a 27-10 victory on Sunday night.With Tanner McKee starting his third game in place of Jalen Hurts, Washington’s defense thoroughly outplayed Philadelphia’s offense throughout the night. The Commanders were able to generate pressure on McKee, sacking him four times. Washington ended the night with nine official QB hits.Saquon Barkley was limited to just 30 yards on 13 carries, including a 3-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter.Jake Elliott had a shot at another field goal in the fourth quarter, but a 41-yard attempt banged off the left upright. He had made a 36-yard attempt that was negated by a penalty for an illegal formation.In many ways, that sequence encapsulated what’s been a rough 2026 for the Eagles.Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels finished the night 16-of-29 for 217 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.It’s the first time Daniels has won a game since Oct. 2025.Treylon Burks led with three catches for 81 yards.

The last time the team started 2-6 was 1999. Both of those instances came under former head coach Andy Reid, in his last and first seasons with the club, respectively.Philadelphia will host the 4-2-1 Giants next weekend.With the win, the Commanders are now 2-4-1 and will host the 4-4 Rams in Week 9.
