The managers forced the Eagles to punt on their next drive. Daniels then took the lead with a 49-yard touchdown pass to Zaccheus. Washington dominated for six more minutes, but back-to-back field goals by Eagles kicker Jake Elliott gave Philadelphia the lead with less than two minutes remaining.

Daniels then led Washington with nine plays, finding wide receiver Jamison Crowder with enough space in the end zone for a go-ahead goal with six seconds left. The coaches took a three-goal lead and won the match.

Daniels completed 24-of-39 for 258 passing yards. In addition to five touchdown passes, he also threw two interceptions.

Commander running back Brian Robinson Jr. had two lost fumbles and wide receiver Diami Brown had one lost fumble, contributing to the high turnover rate.

But Washington ultimately benefited from Philadelphia losing quarterback Jalen Hurts to a concussion in the first quarter. Kenny Pickett took his place and had 143 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception, and three sacks.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns. However, the Eagles' offense looked a little lackluster as they scored 21 points in the first quarter.

AJ Brown led the team with eight catches, 97 yards and one touchdown.
