Jayden Daniels throws 5 touchdown passes as Commanders storm back to stun Eagles

22 December 2024 at 13:58

The Washington Commanders never lost hope and were able to dig out from five turnovers to turn around and stun the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, 36-33.

Jayden Daniels had five touchdown passes in the game, three of which came in the fourth quarter. The Commanders were down 27-14 as the final quarter started. He threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Olamide Zaccheaus to inch the team closer.

The Commanders forced the Eagles to punt on their next drive. Daniels then found Zaccheaus for a 49-yard touchdown pass to take the lead. For another six minutes, Washington was in control but back-to-back field goals from Eagles kicker Jake Elliott gave Philadelphia a lead with under two minutes to go.

Daniels then led Washington down the field on nine plays and found wide receiver Jamison Crowder with enough space in the end zone to make the go-ahead grab with six seconds left in the game. The Commanders took the three-point lead and they won the game.

Daniels was 24-of-39 with 258 passing yards. Along with his five touchdown passes, he also threw two interceptions.

Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had two fumbles lost and wide receiver Dyami Brown had one, contributing to the large turnover number.

But Washington ultimately benefited from Philadelphia losing quarterback Jalen Hurts in the first quarter due to a concussion. Kenny Pickett subbed in for him and had 143 passing yards, a touchdown pass, an interception and three sacks.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns. But the Eagles’ offense looked a bit anemic after scoring 21 points in the first quarter.

A.J. Brown led the team with eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown.

Washington improved to 10-5. It’s their first 10-win season since 2012. The Eagles fell to 12-3.

Eagles tandem Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown have fractured relationship, veteran teammate says: 'Things have changed'

10 December 2024 at 12:42

The problems with the Philadelphia Eagles last year seem to be fixed, but apparently, there's one important relationship still fractured.

The Birds lost six of their final seven games to end the 2023 campaign, and many wondered if changes were coming.

However, they kept head coach Nick Sirriani, and that seems to have worked out well, as they are now 11-2 on the season.

But their quarterback Jalen Hurts and star wide receiver, A.J. Brown, might have their own issues.

The Eagles did win again on Sunday, but it was awfully close against the Carolina Panthers, and Brown called out the passing game. That led veteran defensive lineman Brandon Graham to say, "the person that's complaining needs to be accountable.

"I don't know the whole story, but I know that [Hurts] is trying and [Brown] could be a little better with how he responds to things," Graham said, before dropping a bomb.

"They were friends before this, but things have changed, and I understand that because life happens. But it's the business side, that we have to make sure the personal doesn't get in the way of the business," Graham said.

Graham later said he "made a mistake" to let that kind of cat out of the bag, and said he would apologize to both Hurts and Brown.

"I made a mistake and I assumed that it was something that it wasn't," Graham told ESPN. "I just want to win so bad that I don't just want to use the media when we need to talk about something and we can fix the problem ourselves. I didn't add to it in a good light, so that's my bad.

"I just assumed, and it made me out to look even worse because I had it all wrong and now people are going to run with that part. I really just want to win, man, and I want brothers to be able to just hash it out."

Brown and Hurts are in their third season as teammates, going to the Super Bowl in their first. Brown is on pace for his fifth 1,000-yard season in his six NFL seasons.
