The Washington Commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10 on Sunday night, Nov. 1, at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, scoring the game’s final 27 points after falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter. The Commanders beat the Eagles in front of 64,195 fans, sending Philadelphia to its sixth straight loss and to last place in the NFC East.
Jayden Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, and Washington’s defense did not allow a point after the first quarter. According to The Associated Press, it was the Commanders’ first win in more than a month and Daniels’ first win as a starter since Washington beat the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 5, 2025. Washington, coming off its bye week, improved to 2-4-1. Philadelphia fell to 2-6.
How Washington erased a 10-0 deficit
The Commanders opened sloppily. Stevens missed a 55-yard field goal try, tight end Chig Okonkwo lost a fumble and a string of penalties helped the Eagles go ahead. Jake Elliott kicked a 40-yard field goal, and Saquon Barkley’s 3-yard touchdown run made it 10-0 with 4:27 left in the first quarter.
Stevens answered with a 56-yard field goal late in the opening quarter. In the second, Daniels found Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard touchdown to tie it 10-10, and Stevens hit from 39 yards with 19 seconds left in the half for a 13-10 lead. Daniels took a hard hit on that final drive of the half and was slow to get up, but he stayed in the game.
Stevens added field goals of 25 and 42 yards in the second half, finishing 4 of 5 for 13 points. Rachaad White’s 1-yard run with 1:52 left, followed by an Austin Ekeler two-point conversion run, closed the scoring. In between, Philadelphia’s best chance to get close slipped away: Elliott made a fourth-quarter field goal that would have cut the lead to three, but an illegal formation penalty wiped it out and he missed the retry from 41 yards.
“When you come off of a bye, you either rev right up or you need a minute to warm up, and we took a minute,” Washington coach Dan Quinn said, according to the AP.
By the numbers: Eagles’ offense stalls without Jalen Hurts
Tanner McKee made his third start of the season in place of the injured Jalen Hurts. He completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards with no touchdowns and one interception by Rasul Douglas, and he lost a fumble. Washington sacked him five times for 35 yards. Barkley ran 13 times for 30 yards, 2.3 per carry, and the Eagles finished with 91 rushing yards on 29 attempts.
Philadelphia held the ball longer, 33 minutes 31 seconds to 26:29, and ran 11 more plays, but Washington still outgained it 339 yards to 268. The Commanders averaged 5.9 yards per play to the Eagles’ 3.9. The AP noted that the Eagles had 199 yards before a final drive that came with the game decided.
The losing streak shows up most clearly in the scoring. In their 2-0 start, which included a 24-22 home win over Washington, the Eagles averaged 24.0 points and allowed 21.0. Over the six straight losses they have averaged 14.8 points, a drop of 9.2 points or 38%, while allowing 26.7, up 5.7 points or 27% (TBR calculations from ESPN game data). They have scored 137 points and allowed 202 this season, a minus-65 point differential.
What the win means in the NFC East
The division is up for grabs. The New York Giants lead at 4-2-1, followed by the Dallas Cowboys at 3-5, the Commanders at 2-4-1 and the Eagles at 2-6. Washington opened the season with one win in its first six games but now sits two games behind New York.
Sunday was a busy night across the league’s division races. Earlier in the day, Denver stopped Patrick Mahomes on the final play to beat Kansas City 28-24 and take the AFC West lead, and closer to home the Patriots rallied with 21 straight points to beat the Dolphins 24-19.

What they said
“I know nobody feels sorry for us, that’s for damn sure,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said, according to the AP. “Everyone is going to give us their best shot.”
Barkley was blunt about how opponents now see Philadelphia. “We’re not the big bad Eagles anymore,” he said.
Daniels, pointing to the injuries and setbacks he has had in his career, called the win “a blessing from God,” the AP reported.
Injuries and what’s next
Eagles safety Michael Carter suffered an abdominal injury, and Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols limped to the locker room in the second half with a left foot injury, the AP reported. Washington played without receiver Terry McLaurin. Next Sunday, the Eagles host the Giants and the Commanders host the Los Angeles Rams.
