Next week, the Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys, while the Commanders will face the Atlanta Falcons at home.

In a thrilling matchup on December 22, 2024, the Washington Commanders defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33, ending the Eagles' impressive 10-game winning streak.

The Eagles faced significant challenges after starting quarterback Jalen Hurts left the game early due to a concussion, forcing backup Kenny Pickett to step in.

Despite throwing for 143 yards and one touchdown, Pickett also threw an interception, which hindered the Eagles' offensive efforts.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels had a standout performance for the Commanders, throwing five touchdown passes and leading a crucial 57-yard drive that culminated in a game-winning score with just six seconds remaining.

Daniels completed 24 of 39 passes for 258 yards and was also Washington's leading rusher with 81 yards on nine carries.

The Eagles' defense, previously ranked first in points and yards allowed, struggled against Daniels, giving up 36 points and allowing him to accumulate 339 total yards and five touchdowns.

Although the Eagles forced five turnovers, they only managed to convert those opportunities into ten points, falling short of expectations.

The Eagles initially led 27-14 in the third quarter, but momentum shifted dramatically when the Commanders scored two unanswered touchdowns to take the lead.

A late-game drop by DeVonta Smith significantly impacted the Eagles' chances, resulting in a field goal instead of a touchdown.

Despite the loss, the Eagles still have a chance to clinch the NFC East and potentially host multiple playoff games.

In addition to Hurts' injury, the Eagles' defense was further compromised by the ejection of Chauncey Gardner-Johnson for unsportsmanlike conduct, which disrupted their rhythm.
