Jayden Daniels' last-minute touchdown ends Philadelphia Eagles' winning streak

In the United States, on December 22, 2024, the Washington Commanders achieved a dramatic comeback victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, concluding with a score of 36-33. The Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, had been struggling early in the game, trailing by 14 points shortly after kickoff and facing a 13-point deficit entering the fourth quarter. Despite losing two fumbles in the first half, Daniels's unwavering belief fueled the team's resilience as they fought back against a formidable Eagles defense. The Eagles initially took command with their franchise-record 10-game winning streak, aided by a strong performance from quarterback Jalen Hurts, who, unfortunately, suffered a concussion that sidelined him for the remainder of the game. As the Eagles managed to score back-to-back field goals and seemed poised to clinch the NFC East title, Washington and Daniels refused to succumb to the pressure. The turning point came when Daniels threw his fifth touchdown pass in the dying seconds of the game, successfully leading the Commanders down the field. This marked a significant achievement for Daniels, making him the first Washington quarterback to throw for five touchdowns in a game since Mark Rypien in 1991. The victory not only improved the Commanders' record to 10-5, marking their first 10-win season since 2012, but also ended the Eagles' impressive streak and raised questions about their prospects with Hurts' injury looming over their playoff aspirations. As both teams look forward to their upcoming games, the Commanders will face the Atlanta Falcons next, while the Eagles prepare for a crucial match against the Dallas Cowboys.
