Washington rallies from 17-point deficit to give Ron Rivera first win! What Happened To The Eagles?

The Washington Football Team is undefeated with its new name, rallying for 27 unanswered points and erasing a 17-point deficit to stun the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener at FedEx Field. Ron Rivera won in his first game as Washington head coach. Just like Rivera's teams in Carolina, Washington didn't quit and did not commit a single turnover in the victory, compared to the two committed by the Eagles that led to two Washington touchdowns. This game certainly was a tale of two halves, as the Eagles dominated Washington for the first 23:06 in blitzing to a 17-0 lead led by two Carson Wentz touchdown passes. After a 34-yard strike to Dallas Goedert, this game was all Philadelphia. Slowly but surely, Washington crawled its way back into the game -- aided by two Wentz interceptions that led to touchdowns. In the fourth quarter, Wentz took a sack on 4th-and-4 at midfield that led to a Washington field goal, which tied the game at 17-17. After that point, the Eagles had -3 yards of offense while Washington scored 10 fourth quarter points en route to the victory. Dwayne Haskins finished with no turnovers and a touchdown pass in the victory, making his first Week 1 start for Washington. Peyton Barber scored two touchdowns , including the go-ahead score with 6:13 to play. Goedert finished with 101 receiving yards and a touchdown for Philadelphia, while Wentz threw for 255 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Eagles actually outgained Washington in total yards, but the two turnovers were the difference in this one. Washington won its season opener for the first time since 2018 and a home opener for the first time since 2014. The Eagles lost their first season opener under Doug Pederson and are 0-1 for the first time since 2015.
