In a dominant display, the Philadelphia Eagles topped the Washington Commanders 31-10 in Week 8 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The Eagles came into this matchup needing a win to maintain momentum, and they delivered with a commanding performance on both sides of the ball. Jalen Hurts shone as the offensive star for Philadelphia, throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make plays in critical moments. Makai Lemon was his favorite target, racking up 87 receiving yards and contributing significantly to the Eagles' passing attack. Meanwhile, Jayden Daniels led the Commanders with 59 rushing yards, but the ground game struggled to keep pace with Philadelphia's potent offense. Defensively, the Eagles were relentless, with Jihaad Campbell leading the charge with seven total tackles, helping to stifle the Commanders' drives. The turning point came late in the first half when Philadelphia's defense forced a crucial turnover, allowing Hurts to capitalize with a touchdown pass that extended their lead to 21-3. Despite a strong effort from Washington's Dorance Armstrong, who registered a sack, the Eagles' defense ensured that the Commanders would never recover.
