Commanders fail on crucial fourth down vs. Eagles, and signature win under Daniels will have to wait

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Washington trailed by two points on in the fourth quarter, needing a field goal or first down to keep its prospects of a win — and a shot at the NFC East lead — alive in Philadelphia. “To be the heavy hitters that we want to be, you’ve got to be able to close,” Quinn said. As for the decisive fourth-down call, Daniels said, “I’m always a part of, hey let’s go for it.” It was a frustrating night for Daniels and top receiver Terry McLaurin, who exceeded 100 yards receiving in last Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh for the fourth time in the past eight games, accumulating 113 on five catches. “I can only control what I can.” Quinn said he would give the Commanders a couple of extra days off ahead of the stretch run. “I feel like we’ll respond great,” Daniels said.
