On the defensive side, Zack Baun was everywhere, leading all defenders with 12 tackles (one for loss), while Jalen Carter blocked an extra point.

That would prove crucial later in the contest, as Washington was forced to go for two late in the game and fell short.

Highlights

Dontayvion Wicks' debut got off to a strong start, with a 64-yard reception in the first quarter and later a touchdown catch:

Chunk plays in the running game were rare for the Eagles last season, meanwhile, but Saquon Barkley broke one off in the first half:

Dallas Goedert had a massive game, finding the end zone twice for the Birds:

Jacory Croskey-Merritt scored his first touchdown of the season in the first half:

How about this catch from DeVonta Smith?

Jayden Daniels, very good at football:

Jalen Hurts had some huge scrambles in key moments for the Birds:

What a game.

Up next for the Eagles is a trip to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, while the Commanders will stay in the division and stay on the road, facing the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday.
