Live Updates, Score, and Highlights from the Week 11 Thursday Night Football: Commanders vs. Eagles
The 2024 NFL season’s Week 11 kicks off with the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) taking on the Washington Commanders (7-3).
This game promises to be an intense NFC East showdown as both teams compete for the division’s top position.
The Eagles enter this matchup as the league leaders. They recently achieved a convincing 34-6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, extending their winning streak to five games, thanks to stellar performances from quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ offense.
On the other hand, the Commanders started strong this season at 7-2 but faced a setback last week, losing 28-27 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Washington has been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this year, propelled by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the second overall draft pick, who has been impressive during his debut season.
Fans can expect a playoff-like atmosphere in Philadelphia tonight. YSL News will offer live updates as we approach “Thursday Night Football” and throughout the game.
Third Quarter Ends: Commanders Hold Four-Point Advantage
The third quarter wraps up quickly with no significant changes. The Commanders maintain a four-point advantage, while the Eagles’ offense continues to struggle to find its rhythm.
Score Update: Jake Elliott Converts Field Goal for Eagles
If the Eagles were a vehicle, they’d be in the shop for repairs. They couldn’t capitalize on a promising 74-yard drive, ending with Jake Elliott kicking a field goal. The kicker logged a successful 31-yarder, maintaining his precision from closer distances. Saquon Barkley’s impressive 43-yard catch-and-run will likely just be a minor highlight, as it didn’t lead to any substantial points. Commanders 10, Eagles 6.
Scoring Update: Washington Extends Lead with Field Goal
Washington started the second half strong, capping off its first drive with a 45-yard field goal from Zane Gonzalez. Commanders 10, Eagles 3.
Update on Jalen Hurts Injury
The first half was challenging for the Philadelphia Eagles, culminating in a serious injury concern.
Despite dominating possession and running almost double the plays compared to the Commanders, the Eagles found themselves trailing 7-3 at halftime. However, the most concerning moment came as the half ended.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts was seen in the blue medical tent, likely undergoing examinations by the independent neurologist.
Fortunately, Hurts made it back on the field at halftime after passing a concussion assessment.
Score Update: Eagles Narrow Gap
Eventually, the Eagles got on the scoreboard with a Jake Elliott field goal from 21 yards, much to the relief of their fans, who were ready to express frustration after a lack of scoring. Despite getting close to scoring at the Washington 3-yard line, they couldn’t finish the drive. Commanders 7, Eagles 3.
Jake Elliott’s Kicking Performance
Jake Elliott has been relatively reliable for the Eagles, contributing with several impressive long kicks earlier in his career. However, distance has become a challenge this season; he has missed all four attempts from 50 yards or beyond. This inconsistency puts more pressure on the Eagles’ offensive strategies, as they cannot depend on their kicker for long-range points. Like a shooter in basketball, Elliott needs to see a successful kick to regain his confidence.
Drive Stalls: Another Miss by Jake Elliott
Consistent with emerging patterns, the Eagles again failed to leverage good field position. Jake Elliott’s attempt from 51 yards was unsuccessful. The Eagles attempted a trick play that didn’t work out, leading to a sack by Frankie Luvu on Hurts. Now, the Commanders have an opportunity to improve their score.
First Quarter Conclusion: Commanders Ahead After 15 Minutes
Although the Eagles dominated possession and ran twice as many plays as the Commanders, they were unable to score in the first quarter and trail 7-0. Play will resume with them at the Washington 41-yard line.
Score Update: Brian Robinson Jr. Scores for Washington
Washington’s initial drive was brief, resulting in a quick punt. Their second attempt was more fruitful, leading to a touchdown. Brian Robinson Jr. capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, putting the Commanders on the scoreboard. The running game was key, highlighted by Austin Ekeler’s 34-yard catch-and-run.
Robinson’s impressive 18-yard run brought the Commanders right to the goal line.
Currently, Washington leads the game 7-0.
Saquon Barkley surpasses 1,000 rushing yards
The talented running back is having an incredible season, breaking the 1,000 rushing yard mark with an 8-yard run to kick off his drive. After reaching 1,312 yards in 2022, he struggled in 2023. Throughout his career, Barkley has faced numerous injuries and subpar offensive performances, but he is once again shining in Philadelphia.
Barkley’s next goal is to reach 2,000 total scrimmage yards, a milestone he hasn’t achieved since his rookie season in 2018. With seven games left, he stands a good chance of reaching that mark again.
Commanders hit with a three-and-out
Washington benefitted from Jake Elliott’s missed kick but failed to capitalize. A quick three-and-out consumed only about a minute of play, allowing Jalen Hurts and the Eagles to return to the field.
Eagles fail to score on initial drive due to Jake Elliott’s field goal miss
Philly’s first drive started well, highlighted by a 32-yard catch-and-run by A.J. Brown. However, a penalty halted their momentum, leading the Eagles to aim for a 44-yard field goal, which Elliott ultimately missed wide left. No points were scored in the first five minutes of the game.
Injury update: Landon Dickerson leaves the field
Just over a minute into the game, Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson sustained an injury as he was rolled up on following a Saquon Barkley run and limped off. Tyler Steen has come in to fill his position for now.
