Jalen Hurts tried to enter the end zone but was stopped. Commanders defensive lineman Jonathan Allen was called up for a defensive offense. Then after being stopped, Washington committed three consecutive penalties to try to stop what they knew was coming.
Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu attempted to jump the play twice. He was called for invasion sanctions. Then Allen was called to the invasion. Commanders were then warned that officials could reward the Eagles with a score if they kept trying to skip the play and collect a penalty.
