Commanders vs. Eagles (game one) – Studs and Duds

The Washington Commanders traveled to Philadelphia for a late afternoon start to open the 2026 season. It was a mixed bag, as Washington's defense was better than expected while the offense left a lot to be desired.

Ultimately, Washington fell 24-22 in what was a very competitive game. There are a lot of good things fans can take away from this game, however, there are no moral victories and a loss is a loss — especially within the division.
