The Washington Commanders are on the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a slow NFC East contest. To start the fourth quarter, the Commanders led 10-6, although the Eagles quickly reached the one-yard line where they executed their invented “push drive” to get into the end zone.

With the Eagles missing the extra point, the Commanders will get the ball back with a chance to regain momentum themselves. However, Washington’s rookie quarterback only threw the ball 15 times, completing nine of his passes for 103 yards.

To make matters worse, the quarterback will have to attempt to throw the ball with an injury to his throwing hand. He was seen on the sidelines cutting his right hand.

The Commanders threw the ball 20 times in their 15 passes, and they may have to keep pounding the rock to get close enough for a basket. Trailing 12-10, a field goal would give them a lead and give their defense a chance to make a big impact on this game.
