The Philadelphia Eagles opened up the 2nd half with the ball and a 24 point shutout of the Washington Commanders. Washington was able to stop Philly on the first drive, and get a legit sack on Jalen Hurts. Terry McLaurin got involved finally and Washington was pushing for a TD, but settled for a FG. A penalty on rookie DT Jordan Davis gave them a new set of downs, but they were stopped at Philly’s 1 yard line. The Eagles tried to run out of the end zone, but Daron Payne stopped Boston Scott in the end zone for a safety, Washington’s first points of the game.
The Eagles got their 8th and 9th sacks on Washington’s final drive of the day. Washington was able to drive it down the field against prevent defense. Antonio Gibson punched it in for the TD, but Carson Wentz threw an interception in the end zone on the 2 point conversion attempt.

St, Juste stop again:
Length is such an important trait for St-Juste, allows him to recover and get his hands in the catch point even when initially run by pic.twitter.com/ngGq7HNMeh

Low snap to Wentz but with extra pass-protection he still has time to let it go deep.#HTTC | @TheTerry_25 pic.twitter.com/fJIGufWSeh
Easily Wentz's best throw of the day down the sideline to McLaurin. Hit the hole shot between CB and safety. pic.twitter.com/W70eHIfONW

FG/Penalty/Ball back:
Commanders kick the FG on 4th and 12 from the 29, but the Eagles penalized for unnecessary roughness. Automatic 1st down for the home team. Still scoreless, but closer to the end zone.

SAFETY - Daron Payne with POWER!

It was time for the Commanders defense, and they answered!
Points on the board for Washington at last! #HTTC | @94yne pic.twitter.com/ewtrE8WH12
Daron Payne against a TE is a huge mismatch. Payne made the most of it to penetrate into the backfield and make the tackle for a safety pic.twitter.com/AOoa5FQKEH

Wes Schweitzer:
Schweitzer's snaps are ugly.
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoTWW) September 25, 2022
Wobbly balls.
Low snaps.
May not seem like much, but it's an issue that can totally disrupt the QB's timing/footwork on dropbacks. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/oaEZ4CgVJy
Sack #7:
From the gun, a four man rush and Carson Wentz was hit quickly off the edge.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) September 25, 2022
Some of the sacks today have been coverage or Wentz holding on too long but in defense of him - everyone on the OL has largely stunk.
