The Washington Commanders pulled off perhaps the biggest upset of the 2022 NFL season Monday night by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 32-21. It was Philly’s first loss of the season and Washington’s fourth win in its last five games.
The Commanders entered the game as 11-point underdogs and left as 11-point winners.
Washington’s defense had another terrific game in the win over Philadelphia. The Commanders forced four turnovers [one was on the game’s last play] and held the Eagles to just 264 total yards. A big reason for Philly’s lack of offensive success was Washington’s offense sustaining drives and keeping Jalen Hurts off the field.
According to Pro Football Focus, let’s review some of Washington’s top defensive performers. PFF grades Washington’s top 10 defensive players from Sunday’s game. Keep in mind snap counts do not matter. For instance, safety Jeremy Reaves only played one defensive snap but made the list.
