Jayden Daniels rallies Commanders past Jalen Hurts-less Eagles

Jayden Daniels threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder with six seconds remaining and the Washington Commanders beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 36-33 on Sunday.

Philadelphia's Jake Elliott hit a pair of late field goals to give the Eagles -- who lost quarterback Jalen Hurts to a concussion in the first quarter -- a 33-28 lead with 1:58 remaining. Washington (10-5) then went 57 yards in nine plays and added the two-point conversion, a run by Jeremy McNichols.

Daniels finished 24-of-39 passing for 258 yards, a career-high five touchdowns and two interceptions. He ran nine times for 81 yards. Olamide Zaccheus had five catches for 70 yards and two scores as Washington won despite five turnovers.

Saquon Barkley had 29 carries for 150 yards and two scores for the Eagles (12-3), who had won 10 straight. Kenny Pickett was 14-of-24 for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception in relief of Hurts, and A.J. Brown caught eight passes for 97 yards and a score.

The Eagles led by seven at halftime and Elliott's two third-quarter field goals made it 27-14.

On fourth-and-11 from the Eagles' 41-yard line on the final play of the quarter, Daniels scrambled up the middle for 29 yards. Daniels then hit Zaccheaus for a 4-yard touchdown.

After a punt, Washington started at its own 13. Seven plays later, Daniels found a wide-open Zaccheaus for a 49-yard catch-and-run and suddenly the Commanders led 28-27.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead. After the Commanders were stopped on fourth-and-1 at their own 49 on the opening drive, Barkley ran four times for 37 yards, capping the drive with a 2-yard touchdown.

Philadelphia started its next drive on the Washington 43 after Brian Robinson Jr. fumbled. Hurts ran 13 yards to the 21 but was tackled between linebackers Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner and left the game. Four plays later, Pickett hit A.J. Brown on a quick slant for a 4-yard touchdown.

Later in the quarter, Luvu intercepted Pickett's pass at the Philadelphia 25 and Daniels soon connected with Crowder for a 6-yard score.

On the next drive, Barkley scampered around the left end and raced 68 yards for a touchdown and the lead was 21-7. Barkley finished the quarter with 109 yards rushing.

Washington used a 96-yard drive to pull within 21-14. Daniels hit Dyami Brown for 51 yards on the first play and later found Terry McLaurin for a 32-yard over-the-shoulder touchdown.
