Eagles Hold Off Commanders 24-22

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders 24-22 to open the season. Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 25 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns while adding 48 rushing yards. Dallas Goedert caught four passes for 77 yards and two touchdowns. Philadelphia led 17-9 late before Jayden Daniels threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes and finished with 164 passing yards. Hurts' 22-yard third-down scramble sustained the decisive drive that ended with Goedert's 43-yard touchdown catch to make it 24-16. Washington pulled within two points with just over a minute remaining. The Eagles then stopped the two-point attempt and recovered the onside kick. The result extended Nick Sirianni and Hurts' winning streak in season openers to six. The defense overcame uneven offensive line play and three second-half three-and-outs, with Moro Ojomo making the crucial goal-line stop and Jalen Carter blocking an extra point.
