Introduction
The Eagles vs Commanders rematch on Sunday Night Football did not go the way Philadelphia hoped. Washington scored 27 unanswered points and won 27-10, which handed the Eagles their sixth straight loss. This recap covers the score, the key players, the standings and what both teams face next.
Final Score and Game Summary
The Commanders beat the Eagles 27-10 at home in Landover, Maryland, on November 1, 2026. Philadelphia took an early 10-0 lead, but then the offense stalled. Washington shut the Eagles out over the final three quarters.
The win lifts Washington to 2-4-1 and gives the team its first victory in more than a month. Philadelphia falls to 2-6. The Eagles’ six-game skid is their longest since 2012.
How the Game Unfolded
Eagles Start Fast
Philadelphia scored first on a field goal by Jake Elliott, then Saquon Barkley added a short rushing touchdown. That put the Eagles up 10-0, and the Washington offense looked shaky. Kicker Drew Stevens missed his first field goal attempt, and tight end Chig Okonkwo lost a fumble.
Commanders Take Control
Washington found its rhythm before halftime. Jayden Daniels hit Stefon Diggs for an 8-yard touchdown in the second quarter, which tied the game at 10-10. Stevens then added a field goal, and the Commanders led 13-10 at the break. Daniels took a hard hit just before halftime, but he stayed in the game.
The Second Half Belongs to Washington
Cornerback Rasul Douglas picked off Tanner McKee and returned the ball to the Eagles’ 28-yard line. Running back Rachaad White then scored on a short run, and the Commanders converted the two-point try for a 27-10 lead. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles tried a field goal to cut the lead, but an illegal formation penalty forced a second try. Elliott missed from 41 yards.
Player Stats That Mattered
Jayden Daniels, Commanders QB
Daniels threw for 217 yards and one touchdown. He also earned his first win as a starter since October 2025.
Drew Stevens, Commanders K
Stevens kicked four field goals, including a 56-yarder late in the first quarter.
Tanner McKee, Eagles QB
McKee started in place of the injured Jalen Hurts. He threw for 212 yards with no touchdowns, and the Commanders sacked him five times and picked him off once. The Eagles managed just 268 total yards, and only 199 of those came before their final drive.
Saquon Barkley, Eagles RB
Barkley scored a touchdown but gained only 30 yards on 13 carries. Philadelphia ran for just 91 yards as a team.
Why the Eagles Keep Losing
The Eagles’ problems show up in several areas:
- Offense stalls after fast starts. They have squandered leads in prime time three times this season.
- Pass protection breaks down. Five sacks made it hard for McKee to hold drives together.
- Turnovers hurt. The interception by Douglas turned into a key score.
- Penalties cost points. The illegal formation flag wiped out a field goal and led to a miss.
- Quarterback injury. The team misses Hurts, who led the Eagles to a 24-22 win over Washington in Week 1.
NFC East Picture
Division races look very different from last year. The Eagles, who won the Super Bowl after the 2024 season, now sit at 2-6, and they are falling behind in the playoff race. Washington’s 2-4-1 record is still modest, yet the win keeps the Commanders alive in the NFC East. Check the official NFL standings page for the latest division table.
What’s Next for Both Teams
Eagles: Philadelphia hosts the New York Giants on Sunday, November 8. Win-probability data gives the Giants a slight edge. The Eagles then face the Steelers on November 22 and the Cowboys on Thanksgiving week.
Commanders: Washington will try to build momentum after its first win in weeks. Fans should follow the team’s injury report, because the Commanders played without starting defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw.
