On the next episode of the DC Roundtable Podcast hosted by Tyler Lochte and Ahmed Ghafir diving into the Washington Commanders , we dive into everything you need to know coming out of the primetime matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Commanders scored 27 unanswered points to pick up the first divisional win of the season, coming in primetime with the team now sitting 2-4-1. It was not always pretty, but the Commanders' defense stuck out and lived up to expectations when it needed to after putting together an efficient day within the front seven. We discuss what it means, whether we learned anything new and what stuck out from the win.

Yet that also includes quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has impressed to start the regular season despite not having the results to follow. Yet with Daniels picking up his first win as the starting quarterback in over a year, did he need it? We discuss the drought officially coming to an end.
The game was also met with deflating injury news after the team announced days ago that running back Jeremy McNichols will be sidelined for months after suffering a mid-foot injury. While this marks the latest injury hurdle for McNichols to navigate through after being sidelined in preseason into the regular season with a quad injury, the Commanders have additional questions in the running back room. Washington signed former undrafted free agent addition Robert Henry Jr., now joining Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler to round out the revamped rotation, yet is it enough?
We close out the show by looking ahead as the Commanders look to remain perfect at Northwest Stadium when they host the Los Angeles Rams in week nine. While it marks arguably the most daunting matchup on the first half of the Commanders' schedule, it also adds an additional question for the offensive line to answer with news that Myles Garrett is expected to return to practice, now teaming up with veteran Aaron Donald to pose a challenge to the Commanders' interior offensive line. Can Washington overcome that? We dive into score predictions for Sunday.
