Commanders Score 27 Unanswered to Beat Eagles 27–10 — Philadelphia’s Sixth Straight Loss Raises the Stakes
· News Team
LANDOVER, Maryland, November 2, 2026 — The Washington Commanders turned a 10-point first-quarter deficit into a 27–10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, November 1. The result ended Washington’s winless October and extended Philadelphia’s losing streak to six games, raising questions about both teams’ paths through the NFC East.
The NFL’s official team page confirms the final score and records: Washington 2–4–1, Philadelphia 2–6. The Commanders’ own postgame analysis, published November 2, describes 27 unanswered points after the Eagles’ early 10–0 advantage. These are final game results, not live or projected scores.
How Washington reversed the game
Washington’s early turnover helped Philadelphia build its lead, but the Commanders responded with longer drives and a defense that increasingly pressured quarterback Tanner McKee. Jayden Daniels finished with 217 passing yards and 240 total yards, according to the team’s official recap, and connected with Stefon Diggs on an eight-yard touchdown.
Treylon Burks supplied an important downfield threat, finishing with 81 receiving yards. Washington also capitalized on a McKee fumble, while a late interception by Rasul Douglas helped close off Philadelphia’s comeback hopes. Rachaad White added a short rushing touchdown late in the game.
Why the loss matters for Philadelphia
The Eagles had opportunities to recover but struggled to protect the ball and sustain drives after the opening quarter. A missed fourth-quarter field-goal attempt was another setback. Six consecutive defeats leave Philadelphia with an increasingly narrow margin for error, although the season is not decided by one game.
For Washington, the result offers relief rather than proof of a turnaround. The Commanders’ own report acknowledges that penalties and an uneven start remain concerns. Their next test comes against the Los Angeles Rams on November 8, as listed on the official team schedule.
