From laughter to tears

An interception changes possession, so the Eagles will start where the play left off. It took place in Philadelphia's 12-yard range, and he gained 13 yards before being tackled, meaning the Eagles will start from their 25-yard line. With 34 seconds left in the quarter, the goal is to get a field goal for the Eagles.

But does the Commanders' defense agree? The answer was a sack on rookie second-round pick Jabril Semedo. Well, Jalen Hurst will gain more than 40 yards; it's no longer enough, and the teams go into the locker room with an incredible performance from the Commanders in this first half.

When they returned from the locker room, the Eagles finally broke through Washington's Iron Wall and made a field goal from pace kicker Jake Elliott while the Commanders struggled to attack.

It wasn't until midway through the third quarter that Shoya's first pass was incomplete if you put aside the interception. The two teams traded waves of attacks, and Philadelphia returned to "13:10."

A long pass from Jalen Hurst to A.J Brown, who won his duel with Emmanuel Forbes and completed the 78-yard touchdown.

Emmanuel Forbes was drafted in 2023, and it must be said that the Commanders selected the wrong cornerback from those chosen in the first round. Because his direct opponents in this draft, Devon Witherspoon with the Seahawks, the New England Patriots chose Christian Gonzalez, and Deonte Banks are all Pro Bowlers.

And even Joey Porter Jr., the first pick in the second round, is also a Pro Bowler. The Commanders picked the wrong one that didn't develop as expected.

It was to be expected; it was the scenario predicted by the pundits at the beginning of the game, so no one is surprised, but it hasn't changed the fact that Washington is still ahead.

The course of the match was worthy of a division duel, a closed match with few points. The tension is palpable whether it's a home or away fan. Everyone cheers for their team until the end.

The Eagles know the game isn't over, and the Commanders must deliver the coup de grace. The question is which defense can force an opponent's mistake rather than which offense can break the opponent's defense.

To some extent, saying who will win this game is flipping a coin. But with 6 minutes to go...

"Hurst makes the pass to the right... INTERCEPTION!!!! TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN COMMANDERS!"

Jalen Hurst, totally frustrated with his performance today, threw his helmet to the ground. After putting the Eagles back within reach of the Commanders, a low-level mistake turned into a pick 6. A pick 6 occurs when an interception is made and brought up for a touchdown.

Emmanuel Forbes' gift of revenge finished off the Eagles as the defense had to be ensured behind, and after a complicated battle, the Commanders won in Philadelphia "20:10."

20/24,229 yards, 2TD, INT. Shoya had a very good game in his first prime-time game, not to mention that nasty interception.

Jalen Hurst finished with 18/32, 274 yards, TD, and INT. There is talk of an MVP contender this season, a game unworthy of his status, but he has been impressed by Shoya. The Eagles quarterback said: "Yes, it's an unfortunate loss, we trailed the whole game. Shoya's performance? I send him my blessings. This guy is something. »

"People are putting their demands on us quarterbacks, and they're right. I've experienced the pressure he's feeling right now. Rookies have to take the most pressure to move forward. Every game, you have to prove yourself again. He's worthy of respect, and I'm looking forward to his prospects," said Jalen Hurst.

The perspective of an elite QB, especially his compliments, is good to expect for rookies. Speaking of elite QBs, the Commanders' next game will be on the road against another elite QB.

In the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field, the visiting team shouted loudly, and no one was in a hurry to leave the stadium. In recent years, the Eagles have been a plague in the eyes of Washington players, and a rookie quarterback led them to victory in Philadelphia.

Despite the win, he also saw his shortcomings and lack of experience, and he was totally sealed in the second half. The interception was just a prelude to what was to come next.

In fact, it's true for every rookie: lack of experience and wisdom often constrain their game. Developing and improving the real force takes time; otherwise, it can ruin a career.

There are no shortcuts to this floor. This must be learned over time, and learn from failure.

Fortunately, it went against the Philadelphia Eagles, but Shoya can't expect the same against the next opponent. Improving his close strength is the only viable way, and he'll find out the following week against the MVP team that won last season's Super Bowl.

"In this game, the Bills were never troubled and got the win over the Washington Commanders. After two good performances from quarterback Shoya Barthelemy, despite his stubborn spirit to miss his start to the game, Josh Allen made his mistakes pay. »

Lost.

That's the only thought on Shoya's mind, his face closed on the bench. Defeat will come sooner or later, but no one wants to lose that way. Honestly, according to commentators, it's safe to say that his first defeat was pushed back a week.

The momentum that carried him suddenly spat out, and the landing was rough. However, it's also a good thing. He has finally learned the taste for failure, whether collective or individual. It's not wrong to say that he sabotaged the Commanders.

16/33 276 yards, 2TD, 2INT and 2FUM. It's far too much to hope to win.

Taking a breath, Shoya quickly ran to the center of Highmark Stadium and then saw Josh Allen smiling among the Buffalo Bills players.

Shoya greeted him, politely shaking Lawrence's hand, "Well done!"

Allen politely shook Shoya's hand, "I've been there too; don't lose hope," he said, recalling the many games he missed during his rookie season. Each quarterback sympathizes with another's situation, but many would also like someone else's place.

No more greetings, he returned and left to join his teammates.

"Excuse me, guys! I led the team into a shipwreck. »

That's the reality of every quarterback in the NFL, and even the best can go from an unbelievable performance to a horrible game. A week is enough to go from laughter to tears.

Shoya learned this brutally.

[I'm considering setting up a Pat r eon to publish my story and make money. I will write more chapters and leave myself a gap of 20 between the Patr e on and here. I'll try to set that up next week.
