Commanders Rally for 27-10 Win Over Eagles, Who Lose Sixth Straight

The Washington Commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 on Sunday Night Football in Landover, Md., sending Philadelphia to its sixth straight loss. Washington (2-4-1) won for the first time in more than a month, while the Eagles fell to 2-6. Philadelphia led 10-0 on a 40-yard Jake Elliott field goal and a 3-yard Saquon Barkley run after a Washington turnover, then never scored again. Drew Stevens kicked four field goals for Washington, including a 56-yarder, and Jayden Daniels threw an 8-yard touchdown to Stefon Diggs to tie it at 10-all. Washington led 13-10 at halftime. Daniels finished with 217 yards. Washington sacked Tanner McKee five times and intercepted him once. McKee was making his third start for the injured Jalen Hurts and threw for 212 yards without a touchdown. Barkley was held to 30 yards on 13 carries. In the fourth quarter, an illegal formation penalty negated an Elliott field goal, and he missed from 41 yards.

The Washington Post, the left-leaning outlet, frames the game as Washington's win. Its headline says the Commanders took care of business against "flailing" Eagles, and its excerpt stresses a sluggish start followed by a rally against an NFC East rival, with little detail beyond the score. Fox News and the New York Post, on the right, lead with Philadelphia's decline, using "free-fall" and "spiraling." Fox details McKee holding the ball and turning it over twice, the third-quarter strip-sack by Dorance Armstrong, and a link to a report that Hurts will miss the season. The Post adds records, Daniels' win as a starter since Oct. 5, 2025, and penalties on both teams. All three agree on the score, the sixth straight loss and Washington's comeback from a slow start. They differ in whether the win or the Eagles' failure leads. CBS Sports, by contrast, ran a pregame betting piece with a Kalshi promotion and first-touchdown odds.
