Collins was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, but...

Jayden Daniels says he’s fine. His performances tell a different story.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels hasn’t looked like himself, and there are no easy answers.

He missed throws, struggled to escape when running and rarely pushed the ball down the field. He threw his third interception of the season. He got stopped on a fourth-down rollout, a play that had worked for him several times earlier this year, and once,...

Commanders Vs. Eagles (Game One) - Studs and Duds

Commanders Vs. Eagles (Game One) - Studs and Duds

Washington traveled to Philly to take on the Eagles Thursday night in primetime, and the results were not pretty. Kingsbury’s offense could not generate any consistency on the evening, and what looked like a strong Washington showing on defense early on, finally fell apart in the fourth quarter - allowing Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell to run wild.

Washington has now lost two straight and needed a miracle to prevent that being three in a row. The mini-bye couldn’t come at a better time as this team really needs to regroup and get healthy.

Below are my Studs and Duds...

Eagles pull away from Commanders in NFC East showdown

The story of the Eagles’ season so far has been the incredible play of Barkley and the surprising performance of Vic Fangio’s defense. That continued in Thursday’s crucial divisional win over the Commanders.

On a night when Hurts struggled to get going, the defense kept rookie quarterback sensation Jayden Daniels in check and came up with a key fourth-quarter interception courtesy of safety Reed Blankenship to...

Dan Quinn speaks to the media after

Dan Quinn talked to reporters after the Washington Commanders 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He opened up the presser by addressing the team's decision to go for it on 4th and 2 at the Eagles 26-yard line in the 4th quarter. Washington was down 13-12 at that point, and could have taken a 2-point lead with 8:01 left on the clock. Quinn said they knew they had to be aggressive on the road against a tough division rival, but the execution wasn’t there on the play. He called it a bold call...
