The Eagles (5-2) had an impressive 37-17 win over the Bengals in Week 8, but they’ll remain in second place in the NFC East after the Commanders (6-2) defeat the Bears 18-15 on a 52-yard Hail Mary pass from Jayden Daniels, that Noah Brown hauled in as time expired.
Daniels spent most of the week questionable to play with a rib injury but finished Sunday afternoon, 21-38 passing, for 326 yards and one touchdown. His counterpart, No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, was 10-24 passing for 131 yards and no touchdowns.

The win improves the Commanders to 6-2, while the loss drops the Bears to 4-3. The Bears are struggling to keep pace with the Lions, Vikings, and Packers in the NFC North.
Looking ahead, Philadelphia will face the Jaguars in Week 9 and the Cowboys in Week 10 before hosting Washington in a Thursday night showdown on Amazon Prime on Nov. 14 in Week 11.
