Commanders Beat Eagles 27-10, Handing Philadelphia a Sixth Straight Loss

The Washington Commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 on Sunday night in Landover, Maryland, giving Philadelphia (2-6) its sixth straight loss. Washington (2-4-1) won for the first time in more than a month. Trailing 10-0 early, the Commanders shut out the Eagles over the final three quarters. Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, an 8-yard pass to Stefon Diggs that tied the game at 10-10, and Drew Stevens kicked four field goals, including a 56-yarder. Tanner McKee, making his third start in place of the injured Jalen Hurts, threw for 212 yards without a touchdown and was sacked five times. Saquon Barkley scored on a 3-yard run but gained 30 yards on 13 carries. In the third quarter, Dorance Armstrong's strip-sack of McKee, recovered by Charles Omenihu, set up a 53-yard Daniels pass to Treylon Burks and a Stevens field goal. In the fourth, Jake Elliott's kick that cut the lead to three was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty, and he missed from 41 yards.

The left-leaning New York Times is represented only by a live-updates headline and a one-line excerpt noting the Commanders won, with no scores, players or quotes. The right-leaning New York Post and Fox News both lead with the 27 unanswered points and the sixth straight loss. The Post gives a stat-heavy account, noting Washington's sacks and yardage and penalties on both teams. Fox uses sharper language, saying the Eagles are in "free-fall," criticizing McKee, and noting reports that Hurts could miss the season with blood clots in his lungs. Alternative sources differ most: CBS Sports offers betting odds and a Kalshi promotion, and Billboard offers a viewing guide, which lists a different location and records than the game reports.
