The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 26-18 on Thursday Night Football’s Week 11 edition.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns, much of it in the second half, to lead Philadelphia to a huge NFC East win over Washington.
While Barkley was terrific for the Eagles, which player shined for the Commanders?
This week’s Washington Player of the Game is linebacker Frankie Luvu. Luvu finished with 10 tackles, behind Jeremy Chinn’s team-leading 12, and had two sacks.
Luvu was everywhere against the Eagles and was a catalyst in Washington’s success against Philadelphia through three quarters. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, as Luvu and the defense wore down late in the second half

Luvu’s two sacks give him seven on the season, second only to linebacker/defensive end Dante Fowler Jr.
The Commanders look to get back to their winning ways next week when they return home to face the Dallas Cowboys.
