The Story in 60 Seconds

Evan Macy writes that the Philadelphia Eagles have hit a low point after losing their sixth straight game, falling 27-10 to the Washington Commanders in Week 8. With quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined, Tanner McKee made his fifth career start, relying heavily on tight end Dallas Goedert. Macy argues that the defeat cements the Eagles' status as likely sellers ahead of the approaching NFL trade deadline.

The article highlights a severely struggling pass rush that allowed Washington's Jayden Daniels to dominate both passing and rushing. Despite late sacks from Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith, Macy notes Philadelphia has recorded just 10 sacks through eight games. The writer points out that defensive struggles, missed tackles, and an exhausted front line have left the Eagles reeling.
