For the first time since 2016, the Eagles are 3-0 to open the season as the defence sacked Carson Wentz of the Commanders nine times.

With a career-high 169 receiving yards, wide receiver DeVonta Smith was the offensive catalyst. Here is a summary of the entire game:

The Eagles' large contingent of fans who went to FedEx Field on Sunday enjoyed the game's exciting start when the defensive tackles tackled former Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz.
