Last Week’s Results
Washington
The Commanders suffered a frustrating 23–17 loss against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football on October 19, 2026, just before heading into their bye week. The game got off to a brutal start for Washington as the 49ers exploded to a 20–3 lead by halftime, matching the total number of plays Washington ran in the first half with their own first downs. To make matters worse, franchise star wide receiver Terry McLaurin exited the game in the first quarter with a devastating left knee injury that required an air cast and a cart to leave the field. Despite the early adversity and a collapsing offense, quarterback Jayden Daniels mounted a massive second-half comeback attempt, throwing touchdown passes to Stefon Diggs and Rachaad White to trim the staggering 20-point deficit down to just six points late in the fourth quarter.
Washington had two late opportunities to capture a stunning upset victory in the final minutes. The first potential game-winning drive stalled when Malik Mustapha broke up a crucial fourth-down pass to Treylon Burks near the goal line with just under two minutes remaining. After a quick defensive stop, the Commanders got the ball back one final time near midfield with 52 seconds on the clock, marching down to the 49ers’ 28-yard line. However, the comeback hopes were officially dashed when Daniels was penalized for intentional grounding, followed by a game-ending sack as time expired.
Philadelphia
The Eagles suffered a definitive 38–21 blowout loss against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, extending their devastating losing streak to five games. Playing without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Eagles relied on backup Tanner McKee, who managed to lead a hard-fought, 10-minute touchdown drive in the third quarter capped by a four-yard strike to rookie Makai Lemon. That moment briefly gave the Eagles a 21–20 lead, fueled by the early rushing success of a returning Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce. However, Philadelphia’s offense fell completely silent afterward, failing to score for the remainder of the game. McKee’s night ultimately concluded with a costly fourth-quarter interception by DeMarvion Overshown that sealed the Eagle’s defeat.
The primary catalyst for the collapse was a catastrophic defensive performance by the Eagles, which offered very little resistance against the Cowboys’ attack. The defense failed to generate a single sack, quarterback hit, or tackle for loss, allowing Dak Prescott to comfortably toss three touchdown passes—two of which went to CeeDee Lamb. Furthermore, Dallas gashed Philadelphia on the ground for 204 total rushing yards, spearheaded by Javonte Williams’ career-high 155-yard performance. This latest breakdown dropped the reeling Eagles to a 2–5 record on the season as they search for urgent answers before their next division matchup.
