Ertz catches a TD with 28 sec left in the game.

Commanders go for 2 ...

Birds call TO, so we'll wait to see what happens

Commands do not convert, so it's

26-16, Birds, with 0:28 sec left.

Hmm, the 2-pt play is under review; it's close

after review, they do convert

26-18, Birds, with 0:28 sec left

Tough game for sure. I don't see the Commanders going away anytime soon.

Birds (Goedert) catch the onside kick.

0:27 sec left in the game. Washington has 2 TOs, but the Birds should be able to run out the clock.

Commanders got my attention, for sure.

But the Birds' O was a mess. Two missed FGs, and a missed PAT. And the Birds still won by 10, and it wasn't even that close -- Commanders scored 8 points in the final 30 seconds.

They play again this season, @ Washington. I suspect the Birds will be favored in that game.

I do think the Eagles are much better and looking like contenders, but the Commanders are definitely on the way up.

Man, so many mistakes and missed opportunities. Should have been 33-18…..


Yet STILL found a way. Love this team. There was some kind of cancer in the locker room last year that they purged.
I don’t know if they had a cancer or an upgrade in players on D. Compare and contrast last yrs LBers and this yr
Same in the DBs. Upgrades at C, S, nickel for sure.
Just have to get Jake right now

They are in the top echelon, but still too many problems with execution, especially in the 1st half of games, for me to put them as the best. I'd probably have Detroit ahead of them, and San Fran behind them, with the caveat that San Fran has had a lot of injuries, so they have the potential to get better if players get healthy.
