In a dominating performance, the Philadelphia Eagles topped the Washington Commanders 35-3 in their season opener. With both teams eager to start the new year on a high note, the Eagles quickly established themselves as the team to beat in this matchup. Jalen Hurts led the charge for Philadelphia, racking up 225 passing yards and throwing for one touchdown. Saquon Barkley complemented the aerial attack with a strong ground game, amassing 96 rushing yards, while Eli Stowers emerged as a reliable target with 70 receiving yards. The Eagles' offensive unit showcased their depth and versatility, making it difficult for the Commanders to keep pace. Defensively, the Eagles were equally impressive, with Moro Ojomo recording a sack and Cooper DeJean snagging an interception to stifle any hope of a Washington comeback. The turning point of the game came early in the second quarter when DeJean's interception set up a touchdown drive that put Philadelphia comfortably ahead. Washington struggled to recover from that momentum shift, allowing the Eagles to maintain control throughout the game.
