Commanders vs. Eagles score, live updates: Thursday Night Football pits NFC East rivals in massive Week 11 opener
The winner can take control of the NFC East as the playoff push takes shape
Week 11 of the NFL season kicks off with a huge NFC East matchup that has a chance to decide a host of factors heading toward the playoffs. The 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles host the 7-3 Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football this week, with the two teams coming off very different finishes in Week 10. The Eagles were the latest team to blow out the Cowboys in Dallas, while Washington couldn't hold on to a late lead at home against the Steelers.
Philly has won five straight games, and with a win Thursday, would stay connected to the 8-1 Detroit Lions, who currently occupy the top spot in the NFC. The Commanders, who've won three of four, would take the NFC East lead with the win on the road, and will host the second game between the two teams in Week 16. Jayden Daniels enters the week still leading the race for Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Jalen Hurts is fifth in the NFL in passer rating and second in the league in rushing touchdowns.

Jalen Hurts in medical tent
Jalen Hurts was being evaluated for a concussion, according to Kaylee Hartung. However, he appears to be all right, running to the locker room at halftime on his own.
I have to ask… Was Jalen Hurts checked for a concussion after this play? Bc something isn’t right.
