Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels led the Washington Commanders to a thrilling 36-33 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, ending the Eagles' 10-game winning streak. Daniels threw five touchdown passes, tying the NFL record for most TDs in a game by a rookie, including the game-winning strike to Jamison Crowder with six seconds remaining. The Commanders overcame a 14-point first-quarter deficit and a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit, scoring 22 points in the final quarter to secure the win. This marks Washington's first 10-5 start since 1991. Daniels amassed 258 passing yards and 81 rushing yards, showcasing remarkable poise for a rookie. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott, previously 0-for-6 from 50-plus yards this season, made his first 50-yard field goal to give Philadelphia a late lead, but it was not enough to prevent Washington's comeback. The victory ended Washington's 98-game losing streak when trailing by 13 or more points in the fourth quarter.
