10 Intriguing Insights Into The Commanders’ Decisive 10th Victory of the Season!

The Washington Commanders triumphed over the Philadelphia Eagles with a score of 36-33 on Sunday, improving to 10-5 after securing three consecutive victories. Next week, the 8-7 Atlanta Falcons will visit for a Sunday night matchup, but let’s explore some interesting facts from today’s contest:

• QB Jayden Daniels accomplished five touchdown passes today. This marks the highest number of touchdown throws by a Washington quarterback since Mark Rypien during the 1991 Super Bowl season. Daniels becomes the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for five or more touchdowns and rush for over 65 yards in a single game.

• Washington has achieved 10 victories for the first time since 2012.

• WR Terry McLaurin has now reached 900 career receiving yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are the inaugural team against which McLaurin has surpassed the 900 career receiving yards milestone. McLaurin has now earned his 37th career receiving touchdown and moves into sole possession of the No. 8 spot in franchise history for receiving touchdowns.

• LB Frankie Luvu has achieved his first interception of the season and his first since 2022.

• General Manager Adam Peters joins Charley Casserly as the only GMs in franchise history to clinch 10 or more wins in their inaugural season as GM with the organization.

• Washington matched the franchise single season record for 4th down conversions with a total of 16.

• WR Terry McLaurin has equaled the single season franchise record for touchdown receptions. He is the first player since Ricky Sanders in 1988 to collect over 12 touchdown receptions in a single season.

• WR Olamide Zaccheaus secured two touchdowns against his previous team. It marks the first occasion Zaccheaus has recorded two touchdown receptions in a game since Week 9 of the 2021 season.

• This year’s squad joins the 2012, 1999, 1991, 1984, and 1983 teams as the only teams in franchise history to score over 400 points in a single season.

• WR Jamison Crowder caught two touchdown passes today, marking his first two of the season. This was his initial touchdown reception since Week 8 of the 2023 season, which also occurred against the Philadelphia Eagles.

• WR Terry McLaurin has achieved 1,000-yard seasons for five consecutive years, joining Justin Jefferson as the only other player to reach this milestone in the last five seasons consecutively (2020-2024). Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, and Davante Adams are the only players capable of accomplishing this feat this season. McLaurin has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth straight year, continuing his franchise-long streak of consecutive 1,000 yard seasons.
