The Philadelphia Eagles opened the 2026 season with an impressive 38-17 victory over the Washington Commanders, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting year. With both teams looking to establish themselves early in the season, the Eagles showcased their offensive prowess and depth, leaving the Commanders to regroup as they head into week two. Lamar Jackson was the star of the show for Philadelphia, delivering a standout performance with 398 passing yards and five touchdowns. His connection with Terry McLaurin was particularly potent, as McLaurin racked up 152 receiving yards, proving to be a consistent target throughout the game. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard led the Commanders' rushing attack with just 47 yards, but it was clear that the Eagles' offense was firing on all cylinders. Defensively, the Commanders struggled to contain the Eagles' high-powered offense, though Deommodore Lenoir led the team with six total tackles. Braden Fiske added a sack, but the standout play came from Jaylon Johnson, who intercepted a pass to provide a brief spark for Washington. However, the game's turning point was a crucial sequence in the second quarter when Jackson threw two touchdown passes in quick succession, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Commanders.
