In a stunning display of resilience, the Washington Commanders secured a remarkable 36-33 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The win was highlighted by a go-ahead touchdown from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels to wide receiver Jamison Crowder, who caught the decisive pass with just six seconds remaining in regulation. This comeback saw the Commanders overcome a 14-point deficit in the first half and a 13-point disadvantage heading into the fourth quarter.

Daniels demonstrated impressive composure in the final minutes, particularly after having thrown an interception on the previous drive. The rookie completed 24 of 39 pass attempts, accumulating 257 passing yards along with a career-high five touchdown passes, despite being intercepted twice. Additionally, he made significant contributions on the ground, rushing for 82 yards on nine attempts. Despite the turnover challenges, with Washington conceding the ball five times throughout the game, the Commanders managed to seize victory against what is widely regarded as the league's top defense.

The Eagles, who had already secured a playoff berth, were seeking a division title with a win. Star running back Saquon Barkley led Philadelphia’s offensive efforts by rushing for 150 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. The game's momentum shifted after Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts exited the contest early due to a concussion, passing the reins to Kenny Pickett, who finished the game with 143 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Late-game drops by Barkley and teammate DeVonta Smith thwarted the Eagles’ chances of securing the win. Following this result, Philadelphia fell to a 12-3 record while Washington improved to 10-5.
