In a commanding performance to kick off the 2026 season, the Washington Commanders decisively beat the Philadelphia Eagles 58-23. With both teams looking to establish their footing early in the year, the Commanders proved to be a formidable force on both sides of the ball, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting campaign. Jayden Daniels was the standout performer for Washington, throwing for an impressive 518 yards and five touchdowns while also contributing 47 rushing yards. His connection with Antonio Williams was particularly notable, as Williams racked up 169 receiving yards, showcasing the explosive potential of the Commanders' offense. This dynamic duo left the Eagles' secondary scrambling throughout the contest. Defensively, the Commanders were relentless, with Daron Payne leading the charge with two sacks and Tyler Owens making a game-changing impact by intercepting three passes. The turning point came in the second quarter when Owens' first interception set up another quick touchdown for Washington, swinging momentum firmly in their favor. The Eagles struggled to recover from that pivotal moment as the Commanders continued to dominate the game.
