What went wrong for the Commanders? Three fumbles, critical penalties lead to blowout loss for Washington [Video]

The Commanders set the tone early in the NFC championship game, opening with an 18-play scoring drive with a pair of fourth down conversions, but mistakes on the road against a team loaded with playoff experience are a recipe for disaster.

Washington quickly saw a 3-0 lead become a 14-3 deficit, and the Eagles ultimately went to halftime with a big “27” on the board and a 12-point lead in hand over their NFC East rivals.

The moment didn’t look too big for Jayden Daniels, but a series of mistakes by the team around him put him in an extraordinarily difficult position entering the second half. The Eagles would win 55-23, scoring three touchdowns off of Commanders fumbles.

Here’s a look at what went wrong for the Commanders early on at Lincoln Financial Field.
