LANDOVER, Md. \u2014 Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, and the Washington Commanders shut out the Philadelphia Eagles over the final three quarters of a 27-10 victory on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Washington (2-4-1) picked up its first win in more than a month while sending Philadelphia (2-6) to its sixth straight loss, and Daniels won as a starter for the first time since beating the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 5, 2025.<\/p>\n

The Commanders sacked Tanner McKee five times and intercepted him once while holding the Eagles to 268 yards \u2014 just 199 before the meaningless final drive.<\/p>\n
In his third start of the season in place of the injured Jalen Hurts, McKee threw for 212 yards without a touchdown.<\/p>\n
Saquon Barkley rushed for a touchdown for the Eagles but was held to 30 yards on 13 carries. Philadelphia finished with 91 yards rushing.<\/p>\n
Both teams committed costly penalties. The Eagles\u2019 Jake Elliott made a field goal to cut Washington\u2019s lead to three points in the fourth quarter, but he had to try again because of an illegal formation penalty and missed from 41 yards.<\/p>\n
Drew Stevens kicked four field goals for Washington, including a 56-yarder late in the first quarter. Daniels connected with Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard touchdown in the second quarter that tied it at 10-all, and Washington led 13-10 at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Commanders had a sloppy first few drives. Stevens missed his first field goal attempt, from 55 yards, and Chig Okonkwo lost a fumble.<\/p>\n

On Washington\u2019s final drive of the first half, Daniels took a hard hit and was slow to get to his feet, but he stayed in the game as the Commanders finished with 27 unanswered points.<\/p>\n
The Commanders remain in the hunt in a weak NFC East, two games behind the first-place New York Giants, despite opening the season with just one win in their first six games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LANDOVER, Md. \u2014 Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, and the Washington Commanders shut out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[30488,1418,69,4538,71,70,726,18022],"class_list":["post-319367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-sports","tag-washington-commanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
