The Philadelphia Eagles had the opportunity to clinch the NFC East with a victory against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium. However, a potential setback occurred when quarterback Jalen Hurts left the game following an awkward run in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, during a drive that showcased the Eagles' offensive capabilities, Hurts took off on a designed run but was met with a hit that left him momentarily sidelined. Despite appearing to lunge for a first down, Hurts came up short and subsequently exited the field for evaluation. His backup, Kenny Pickett, stepped in and successfully completed the drive with a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, extending the Eagles' lead to 14-0.

As the game progressed, Hurts was seen on the sideline, attempting to put his helmet back on before being instructed to head to the locker room for further assessment. The team's communication confirmed that Hurts was being evaluated for a concussion. With the Eagles starting strong, the status of their starting quarterback remains uncertain as the game unfolds.
