- Treylon Burks, Charles Omenihu Among 4 Winners and 2 Losers in Commanders' Win Over Eagles
Anyone who stuck around Northwest Stadium past a miserable first quarter Sunday night saw a different football team. The Washington Commanders fell behind the Philadelphia Eagles 10-0, then scored 27 unanswered points in a 27-10 win built by Treylon Burks, Charles Omenihu and a defensive front playing without Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw .
The win moved Washington to 2-4-1 and gave Jayden Daniels his first victory as a starter since Oct. 5, 2025 . It also came with enough mess to fill out the bottom of this list.

Treylon Burks
Burks was questionable with a foot injury during the week. He led all receivers with 81 yards on three catches, including a 53-yard shot down the sideline that beat Quinyon Mitchell, a corner who entered the night allowing a 64.7 passer rating in coverage . That catch set Washington up at the Eagles' 7-yard line in the third quarter.
His stretching 7-yard grab on third-and-6 in the first quarter also sparked the Commanders' first scoring drive. With Terry McLaurin out for the season , Burks is the receiver giving this offense a vertical threat. His 72.7 offensive grade ranked second on the team behind left tackle Brandon Coleman, according to PFF.

Charles Omenihu
Omenihu had just returned from an injury, and he played like a man trying to make up for lost time. He bulled through the right side for a sack in the third quarter, then fell on the ball after Dorance Armstrong stripped Tanner McKee on third-and-4, extending Washington's takeaway streak to five games.
Washington generated pressure on 46.5% of dropbacks, a season high according to NFL+. Five different players recorded sacks, and Omenihu was the one who kept showing up. He finished with five pressures and an 81.6 pass-rush grade, according to PFF.

Shy Tuttle
Somebody had to soak up Payne's snaps in the middle, and Tuttle handled it. He had a sack and two of Washington's nine tackles for loss. His second-quarter sack left the Eagles in a third-and-12 they couldn't convert, and the Commanders followed with an 89-yard touchdown drive to tie the game.
Saquon Barkley finished with 30 yards on 13 carries . With Payne's foot injury hanging over the interior, Tuttle's night matters beyond the box score.

Drew Stevens
Stevens opened the night by missing a 55-yarder after back-to-back false starts pushed the offense backward. Then he made four straight, including a 56-yarder late in the first quarter and a 42-yarder with 3:43 left that made it a two-score game.
Dan Quinn said settling for that many field goals has to be cleaned up. Fair enough, but the kicker did his part.

Washington's offensive line
Washington spent its bye week talking about tweaks to clean things up . It still committed four fouls in its first nine plays , and back-to-back false starts on the opening drive turned third-and-1 into third-and-11.

Daniels was also sacked twice, including a 12-yard loss to Jalen Carter that killed a third-quarter drive. The talk of reshuffling the line won't go away after a night like this.
K'Lavon Chaisson
Chaisson got home for an 11-yard sack that forced fourth-and-25 and set up Rasul Douglas' interception. He also drew two roughing-the-passer flags, and the second one wiped out a Trey Amos interception deep in Philadelphia territory in the fourth quarter. PFF gave him a 37.0 overall defensive grade, the lowest among Washington's starters.

"We gotta play all four quarters to the blow of the whistle," Amos said after the game . Against a Rams team coming to Landover next, Chaisson can't hand back takeaways.
