Philadelphia has no answers without Jalen Hurts. Tanner McKee looked like a backup all night, holding the ball, taking sacks, refusing to throw downfield and turning the ball over twice.
Without Hurts, Washington stacked the box and held Barkley to 30 yards on 13 carries.

When Philadelphia finally drove into scoring position in the fourth quarter, mental mistakes wiped it out. Elliott made an apparent 36-yard field goal to cut the deficit to three, but an illegal formation penalty on left tackle Jordan Mailata took the points off the board. Backed up five yards, Elliott missed wide right.
Washington closed it out. Stevens kicked a 42-yard field goal with 3:43 left. Commanders cornerback Rasul Douglas intercepted McKee on the next possession.
Rachaad White broke off a 33-yard run and scored from a yard out with 1:52 remaining, and Austin Ekeler ran in a two-point conversion to make it 27-10.
Daniels finished with 217 passing yards, one touchdown and no turnovers. Philadelphia has lost six straight games, falling to 2-6. Washington improves to 2-4-1, climbing out of last place in the NFC East.
