This Week 1 matchup set the tone for both teams as they vie for a strong start in the 2026 season. The Eagles capitalized on key moments to secure their victory and claim the early edge in the division. Jayden Daniels showcased his passing prowess for the Commanders, throwing for 222 yards and three touchdowns, demonstrating his ability to move the offense.

Jihaad Campbell led the way with five total tackles, while Jonathan Greenard added pressure with a sack. However, it was Zack Baun's two interceptions that proved to be the game's turning point, halting the Commanders' drives at crucial moments and preserving the Eagles' lead as they held off Washington's late-game surge.
