Latest updates after Marcus Mariota suffered a hand injury that forced him out of the Commanders Week 16 game vs. Eagles on Saturday.
Barkley looked like the 2024 version of himself on Saturday. Could the Eagles finally be channeling last year's magic when it matters most?
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota, starting in place of the shut-down Jayden Daniels, hurt his right hand and was replaced by third-stringer Josh Johnson early in the third quarter Saturday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
It has been Marcus Mariota who has taken on the QB1 role for the Washington Commanders amid Jayden Daniels’ injury-plagued season. This was the case again on Saturday, as Washington hosted the defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, at Northwest Stadium.
All years fans have despised seeing the Philadelphia Eagles run their highly-effective "Tush Push" play and hated the referees for failing to call appropriate penalties where needed. But today, the referees finally seemed to judge the play properly.
Philadelphia will face a Washington team on Saturday night that'll be without quarterback Jayden Daniels, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and a host of other key players. For the Eagles, Lane Johnson will miss his fifth straight game, while Jalen Carter will miss his fourth straight.
Then after Jalen Hurts hit DeVonta Smith for a 6-yard TD, the Eagles missed a chance to extend their lead when Jake Elliott missed a 43-yard field goal. Shipley later made another mistake by taking the ball out of the end zone after the Commanders scored as the Eagles started their final drive of the first half at the 19 instead of the 35.
