The Eagles’ secondary showed some weakness against Washington’s passing attack.
The turning point in this goes to Reed Blankenship, who was having a difficult day but redeemed himself with an interception deep in Commanders’ territory. It was the play that set up the TD from Jones.
“I was just reading his eyes,” said Blankenship of Washington quarterback Sam Howell. “I saw he was looking backside pretty hard and knew we had to make a play. I tried it and luckily it came up pretty good.”
On a day where both defenses had trouble stopping either offense, it was a much-needed turnover.
