Daily News | Eagles-Commanders analysis: Costly fumbles, questionable calls, shaky defense lead to Birds’ first loss
Costly turnovers, poor third-down defense, and two significant questionable missed calls led to the Eagles suffering their first loss of the season, a 32-21 misstep against the Washington Commanders.Here’s our analysis of the game:Two fumbles, one more egregious than the other, killed two promising fourth-quarter drives by the Eagles.
Washington didn’t get any points out of the Watkins turnover, but it cost the Eagles an opportunity to go ahead midway through the fourth quarter.Washington’s offense faced third-and-7 when Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke took a knee with no receivers open and a pass rush bearing down on him. Brandon Graham and Haason Reddick, unable to slow their momentum, barreled into Heinicke, eliciting a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on Graham.
Washington’s prolonged drives were spurred by tough runs from rookie running back Brian Robinson, timely throws from Heinicke, and a bevy of third-down miscues from the Eagles defense. The team used a mixture of Tuipulotu, practice-squad tackle Marvin Wilson, and Javon Hargrave in Davis’ role against the Texans with mixed results. The mixed results continued Monday night with Tuipulotu at the heart of the defense.
