Commanders vs. Eagles score: Jayden Daniels’ last-second TD pass keeps Philadelphia from winning NFC East

LANDOVER, Md. — Jayden Daniels hit Jameson Crowder on a 10-yard touchdown pass with six seconds left as the Washington Commanders completed a stunning 36-33 comeback over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Daniels led the Commanders on a 9-play, 57-yard drive in the final 1:58 to lead Washington to the upset victory, eliminating the Dallas Cowboys from the playoffs while remaining alive in the NFC East race. 

Daniels threw a career-high five touchdown passes in the win, including two in the fourth quarter to bring the Commanders back from a 21-7 deficit early in the game. The Commanders were able to take the lead for the first time with 9:06 left in the game as Daniels found Olamide Zaccheaus for a 49-yard touchdown. Zane Gonzalez’s extra point gave Washington the lead after the long touchdown pass. The Commanders won the game despite having five turnovers. 

Jake Elliott hit a 50-yard field goal with 3:48 left to give the Eagles back the lead — his first field goal from 50+ yards this season. Just three plays later, Reed Blankenship picked off Daniels on third-and-5 to stop the Commanders from taking the lead on the ensuing drive. Elliott then hit a 40-yard field goal to put the Eagles up 33-28 with 1:58 left — after DeVonta Smith dropped a third-down pass which could have prevented the game-winning drive from occurring. 

The story of the game was Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts being ruled out with a concussion. He was sent to the sideline by an official after a 13-yard run in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion, only to attempt to re-enter the game. The official ruled him back to the sideline as the Eagles quarterback headed to the locker room and was later ruled out. With Hurts out, Kenny Pickett took over a quarterback.

Saquon Barkley had a 68-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to fire up his chase of Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing mark of 2,105. Barkley finished with 29 carries for 150 yards to put him at 1,838 for the season — 268 behind Dickerson for the all-time mark.
