The Washington Commanders handed the Philadelphia Eagles their sixth consecutive loss Sunday night, grinding out a 27-10 win that was closer to a slugfest than a showcase.

Philadelphia jumped out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead — then never scored again. Washington answered with 27 unanswered points, powered by Jayden Daniels, who threw for 217 yards and a touchdown. Multiple outlets described the win as far from pretty but badly needed for the Commanders.

For the Eagles, now 2-6, the problems compounded all night. Quarterback Tanner McKee struggled behind pass protection that repeatedly broke down, and an offense that looked functional early went silent for three straight quarters. Six losses in a row has turned a slow start into a full-blown spiral, and the postgame analysis out of Philadelphia centered on how little is currently working on that side of the ball.

Washington, meanwhile, banked exactly the kind of result a team searching for momentum needs: a division win on Sunday Night Football, built on defense and a steady night from its quarterback.
