Thoughts on the game: Early on, it looked like the Eagles could've fallen to Washington at home but they prevailed in the second half to take the win. Carson Wentz looked incredible once again in the victory, only throwing an early interception. Hopefully the injuries the Eagles suffered tonight aren't too serious but it doesn't look good for Jason Peters.
