Commanders Beat Eagles 27-10 to End Losing Run
Commanders beat Eagles 27-10 on Sunday night, November 1, 2026, in Landover, Maryland, as Washington won for the first time since Week 3. Jayden Daniels passed for 217 yards and a touchdown, and the Commanders erased an early 10-point deficit to hand Philadelphia a sixth straight loss.
Drew Stevens kicked four field goals, and Stefon Diggs caught a touchdown pass for Washington. The Commanders (2-4-1) scored 27 unanswered points after falling behind, while the Eagles (2-6) suffered their longest losing run since 2012.
The result split the season series after Washington lost 24-22 on the road in Week 1. It also moved Washington closer to the idle New York Giants (4-2-1) in the NFC East, while Philadelphia fell into the division basement.
Commanders beat Eagles: how the game turned
Philadelphia started fast. Jake Elliott kicked a 40-yard field goal, and Saquon Barkley scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to give the Eagles a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Barkley’s score followed a fumble by Chig Okonkwo, only the third turnover of the season for Washington.
Washington answered from there. Stevens kicked a 56-yard field goal late in the first quarter. Daniels then found Diggs with an 8-yard touchdown pass with 4:56 left in the second quarter, capping an 11-play, 89-yard drive. Stevens added a 39-yard kick with 19 seconds left in the half to give Washington a 13-10 lead at the break.
Washington scored the only points of the third quarter after a fumble by Philadelphia quarterback Tanner McKee. Daniels threw a 53-yard pass to Treylon Burks, and Stevens converted from 25 yards to make it 16-10 with 1:33 left in the quarter.
Philadelphia had a late chance to close the gap. A 15-play drive ended with no points when Elliott’s 41-yard field-goal attempt hit the left upright with 8:58 to play. It was his first missed kick of the season. Eight plays later, Stevens kicked a 42-yarder to extend the lead to 19-10 with 3:43 left. Washington then made it 27 unanswered points on a 1-yard touchdown run by Rachaad White and a two-point conversion run by Austin Ekeler with 1:52 to play.
McKee under pressure in first road start
McKee completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards in his first career road start for Philadelphia. He faced constant pressure from Washington’s pass rush, lost a fumble, threw an interception and was sacked five times.
Daniels completed 16 of 29 passes for Washington. His numbers look modest beside the final score, but his two long connections, the 89-yard scoring drive and the 53-yard throw to Burks, set up the points that turned the game.
Barkley’s touchdown gave Philadelphia its early lead, but the Eagles scored nothing after the first quarter. Washington’s defence held firm while Stevens kept adding points, and the missed field goal in the fourth quarter ended Philadelphia’s last real opening.
What the result means in the NFC East
The win keeps Washington in touch in the NFC East, behind the idle Giants. The Eagles, at 2-6, sit at the foot of the division after six straight defeats, their worst run since 2012.
For Washington, the win ends a wait that stretched back to Week 3. A first win in over a month changes the mood around the side, even though the record still sits below .500. For Philadelphia, the questions grow: a side that led 10-0 on the road scored nothing in the final three quarters.
Both sides now head into the next week with clear tasks. Washington must show the Landover performance was a turning point, not a one-off. Philadelphia must fix an offence that stalled after its fast start and protect its quarterback better.
