Can the Philadelphia Eagles' Ground Game Outpace the Washington Commanders Again?

The Philadelphia Eagles improved their season record to 8-2 after a hard-fought victory over the Washington Commanders, with a final score of 26-18. The game showcased the Eagles' ability to control both sides of the ball, leading to their latest win against a division rival. The Commanders now sit at a 7-4 record after this week's performance.

Eagles' Offensive Showcase

The Eagles' offense was on full display, accumulating a total of 434 yards. A significant portion of their success came from their rushing attack, which amassed an impressive 228 yards on 40 attempts, averaging 6 yards per carry. Saquon Barkley led the charge with 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries, including a long run of 39 yards for one of his touchdowns. Quarterback Jalen Hurts also contributed to the ground game with 39 rushing yards and one touchdown across ten attempts.

Through the air, Hurts completed 18 out of his 28 pass attempts for a total of 221 passing yards. Although no passing touchdowns were recorded in this game by Hurts, his ability to distribute the ball effectively was evident as he maintained an average completion rate above sixty percent throughout the contest.

Commanders' Efforts Fall Short

Despite their efforts, the Washington Commanders could not keep pace with Philadelphia's scoring. Their defense managed three sacks and forced one fumble but struggled to contain Philadelphia's dynamic running game. On offense, they put up only eighteen points against an Eagles defense that proved too formidable on this occasion.
