The Washington Football Team started fast, opening up with a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, before crashing hard and falling to the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-17, Tuesday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
The story of this game should be about Washington quarterback Garrett Gilbert making an emergency start for the WFT with Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen on the reserve/COVID-19 list. However, Gilbert did some things well, considering he’d only been with the team four days.
The story of this game was Washington’s poor defensive play. The Eagles managed to roll up 519 total yards, including an embarrassing 238 yards rushing. Meanwhile, Gilbert received no help from Washington’s running game, as the WFT rushed for only 63 yards.
Now, here’s everything we know from Philadelphia’s 27-17 win over Washington.
