Eagles Clinch Thrilling 24-22 Victory Over Commanders
14 Sep
Summary
- Jalen Hurts threw three touchdown passes to lead the Eagles.
- A late Commanders touchdown and failed two-point conversion sealed the win.
- Stefon Diggs' touchdown and penalty set up a close score.
The Philadelphia Eagles narrowly defeated the Washington Commanders with a final score of 24-22 in a closely contested game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was instrumental, throwing three touchdown passes, including a crucial one late in the fourth quarter that gave the Eagles a 24-16 lead with six minutes remaining. The Commanders mounted a comeback, with Jayden Daniels connecting with Antonio Williams for a touchdown with just over a minute left, setting up a potential game-tying two-point conversion.
However, the Commanders' offensive coordinator opted for a shovel pass on the two-point attempt, which was foiled by the Eagles' defense. DeVonta Smith recovered the ensuing onside kick, sealing the Eagles' victory. Earlier in the fourth quarter, Stefon Diggs scored for Washington, cutting the deficit to 17-16, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty pushed the Commanders back. Dallas Goedert also had a significant touchdown catch for the Eagles during the game.
