The Washington Commanders suffered their first Super Bowl loss, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The collapse was fueled by costly turnovers and penalties, including three fumbles and two personal-foul penalties that handed the Eagles a 32-point victory.
Terry McLaurin described the team’s struggles as “definitely” fixable, acknowledging their inability to force turnovers and protect the ball. Coach Dan Quinn admitted the Commanders’ unraveling was due to a lack of focus on key moments in critical games.
The game saw Washington turn over the ball four times without forcing one return, with Philadelphia capitalizing on these mistakes. A late turnover by the Eagles also set up their winning TD.
Commanders center Tyler Biadasz emphasized the importance of turnovers but noted the team’s defensive struggles throughout the season. Coach Quinn acknowledged the fumble issue as a “complementary football” problem and expressed confidence in the team’s ability to improve with a new strategy moving forward.
In the third quarter, Washington lost their third fumble following Austin Ekeler’s catch and坠地. The Commanders ultimately found themselves trailing by 11 points before settling into a late-game interception.
While the offense showed flashes of potential during their seven-game winning streak, Sunday marked a turning point for the franchise under Quinn’s leadership.
