The Eagles' franchise-record start came to a crashing halt after a sloppy loss to Commanders.
an unnecessary roughness call on Brandon Graham
Still, the Eagles had a chance. They scored on Hurts' 11-yard TD pass to DeVonta Smith to get within 2 points to start the fourth quarter.But the Eagles squandered that opportunity when Dallas Goedert fumbled the ball away after taking a short pass from Hurts, and Washington recovered at the Eagles' 34.Still, the Eagles held the Commanders to a field goal and trailed by five.
The Eagles' troubles began shortly after Josh Sweat's strip-sack gave the Eagles the ball at Washington's 19 yard line barely a minute into the game. Three plays later, Hurts snuck the ball in from the 1. The Commanders held the ball for another 6:30 and got a field goal. Then Hurts was intercepted trying to hit Brown on a deep ball into double coverage.
"The three turnovers lost us the game," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said."The time of possession loses you the game. We lost it together − offense, defense, special teams."There were two key decisions in the fourth quarter that went against the Eagles. The first was on Goedert's fumble. Replays showed that Jamin Davis grabbed Goedert's facemask as the ball came loose. Davis ended up recovering the fumble.
