NFL live updates: Carson Wentz sacked 3 times on Commanders’ first 2 drives vs. Eagles

The Eagles won the coin toss and elected to defer, giving Washington the ball first. Curtis Samuel ripped off a 15-yard run on the Commanders’ first play from scrimmage, momentarily quieting the large contingent of green-clad Eagles fans who made the trip to FedEx Field. Those fans made their presence felt three plays later, when Fletcher Cox and Josh Sweat combined to sack Carson Wentz and force a Washington punt. (Commanders 0, Eagles 0, 13:08 left in the first quarter)
