Muricas News  — 

After which there have been none.

After the Philadelphia Eagles had been defeated 32-21 by the Washington Commanders on Monday night time, no undefeated groups stay within the NFL.

It was the primary defeat of the season for the unusually sloppy Eagles as they slipped to 8-1 on a night once they had been constantly hampered by turnovers.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw an interception – in addition to two touchdowns – and the Eagles misplaced three fumbles as Philly’s self-inflicted errors stunted potential scoring drives.

Afterwards, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni stated his group “performed like crap.”

“I believe whenever you play the way in which we did tonight, and also you play the way in which we did on all three phases – offense, protection, particular groups, teaching – whenever you play like that,” Sirianni stated, “it does seem to be every part’s going towards you, you create your personal luck, and we performed like crap.”

And all of it got here after such a robust begin.

The Eagles twice led by a landing through the first half, however – due to Hurts’ interception and the gumption of the Commanders’ offense – Washington held a 20-14 lead at halftime.

Each of the Commanders’ operating backs – Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson – had first half touchdowns as a extensively anticipated Eagles victory turned bitter.

The second half was considered one of frustration for Philly as they tried to claw their method again into the sport.

Regardless of decreasing Washington’s result in simply two early within the fourth quarter with an 11-yard landing toss to DeVonta Smith, Hurts and the Eagles had been by no means capable of produce constant offense.

Having been offered loads of alternatives – Washington had been solely capable of muster two subject targets, two punts and an interception of their 5 second-half drives – the Eagles appeared out of types themselves and by no means capitalized.

And, on the ultimate play of the sport needing a miracle landing to rescue a victory from the jaws of defeat, the Washington protection was capable of get better a fumble from Smith after a failed lateral for a landing which put some gloss on a formidable victory for the now 5-5 Commanders.

Extensive receiver Terry McLaurin was the star of the night for the Commanders, as he completed with eight receptions for 128 yards.

Though Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke didn’t dazzle within the begin – he completed with 211 passing yards, no touchdowns and an interception – the win continues his run of plucky outcomes as he stands in for starter Carson Wentz.

Though Wentz was dominated out of a begin towards his former group as a result of a finger harm, Heinicke wasn’t certain if his performances in Wentz’s absence had been sufficient to earn himself the beginning job when he does return.

“I don’t know,” Heinicke instructed the media. “There’s a number of errors I’ve made all through the video games, however once more, it’s one factor the place if my quantity’s known as and I've to play, let’s go on the market and play, and I’m going to attempt to do one of the best of my skills, so we’ll see what occurs.”
