The Washington Commanders’ social media team wasted no time in celebrating their dramatic 36-33 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, delivering a perfectly crafted jab at their NFC East rivals. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels stole the show with a career-defining performance, throwing for five touchdowns and leading the Commanders to snap the Eagles’ impressive 10-game winning streak.
The game turned early when Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was ruled out with a concussion in the first quarter.
Daniels, unfazed by the pressure, orchestrated a masterful fourth-quarter drive capped by a nine-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jamison Crowder with just six seconds remaining on the clock. The late-game heroics sealed Washington’s victory and left the Commanders’ faithful buzzing.
As soon as the game ended, the Commanders’ social media team delivered the ultimate troll job on X (formerly Twitter). They hilariously mimicked Philadelphia’s iconic “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant but put special emphasis on the “L” in light of the Eagles’ first loss since late September. The tweet quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans of both teams and fueling the already heated rivalry.
The victory improved Washington’s record to 10-5 and significantly bolstered their playoff chances, now sitting at a commanding 95%, according to NFL.com. For the Eagles, the loss brought their record to 12-3, though they’ve already clinched a playoff berth and remain contenders for the NFC’s top seed.

Daniels’ performance continued to solidify his case for Offensive Rookie of the Year, as he outshined a strong Eagles defense with precision passing and poise under pressure. The Commanders’ defense also stepped up in critical moments, holding Philadelphia’s high-powered offense in check despite the absence of Jalen Hurts.
Looking ahead, the Commanders are riding high on momentum as they prepare for a pivotal Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons (8-7) on Sunday Night Football.
A win would further cement their playoff aspirations and continue what has been a breakout season under head coach Eric Bieniemy.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will look to regroup and ensure Hurts’ health as they aim to bounce back in their pursuit of NFC supremacy. But for now, the Commanders and their fans are basking in the glow of a thrilling victory—and a perfectly timed social media victory lap.
