In a high-stakes NFC East showdown at Lincoln Financial Field, the Washington Commanders faced a tough 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on November 14, 2024. The game remained tight until the fourth quarter, when Eagles running back Saquon Barkley delivered a standout performance, rushing for 146 yards and two crucial touchdowns. This surge secured the Eagles’ victory and extended their lead in the division. Commanders’ rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showed promise but struggled against Philadelphia’s strong defense, which effectively contained Washington’s offense in the final minutes. The Commanders’ decision to attempt a fourth-and-2 play instead of opting for a field goal proved costly, as the Eagles capitalized on the turnover to widen their lead. This defeat places the Commanders at 7-4, trailing the Eagles in the NFC East standings.
