The Washington Commanders dropped to 1-2 on the season after Sunday’s 24-8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles from FedEx Field.
Much like in last week’s 36-27 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Washington offense got off to a miserable start. The Commanders were down 22-0 last week to the Lions and 24-0 to the Eagles Sunday. Unlike last week, Washington was unable to mount a comeback, and its first points didn’t come until defensive tackle Daron Payne tackled Philadelphia running back Boston Scott in the end zone for a safety.
The Commanders would finally score a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but by that point, the game was long over.
Here are five takeaways from the Commanders’ loss to the Eagles.
