Jalen Hurts Throws 3 TD Passes and Eagles Stuff Commanders' Late 2-Point Try for 24-22 Win

Jalen Hurts and Dallas Goedert each threw touchdowns as Philadelphia held off Washington after a blocked PAT and a late stop on a two-point try.

  • On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders 24-22 at Lincoln Financial Field, with quarterback Jalen Hurts throwing three touchdown passes to lead the season opener.
  • Hurts finished 14-of-25 for 203 yards, connecting with tight end Dallas Goedert for a 43-yard fourth-quarter touchdown that sealed the victory.
  • Defensively, the Eagles made a critical stop when defensive lineman Moro Ojomo thwarted a late Washington two-point conversion attempt, while punter Braden Mann pinned the Commanders inside their own 10-yard line three times.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni secured his sixth consecutive opening-day victory, keeping Philadelphia unbeaten under his leadership on opening day; the Eagles travel to Tennessee next Sunday.
  • Despite running back Saquon Barkley recording 83 yards on 15 carries, the offensive line struggled with consistency against Washington's multiple-front defense, creating challenges for the offense.
