The late‑game drama—a blocked two‑point conversion and a last‑second stop—turned a messy contest into a clutch victory that set the tone for Philadelphia's campaign. Despite DeVonta Smith being limited to three receptions, the Eagles’ special teams turned field position into points, a point WJLA noted when the Commanders’ two‑point try was thwarted.

With the win secured, the question remains how Philadelphia will sustain offensive balance when its leading receiver struggled.
