A bettor in West Virginia felt pretty good about the Eagles winning the game on Monday against the Washington Commanders. He risked $331,000 on the Eagles Moneyline. The bet would have paid out a measly $60,182 if the Eagles improved to 9-0.
The Eagles still had a chance at a comeback late in the game. Down 26-21 late in the fourth quarter, Hurts found wideout Quez Watkins for a 51-yard reception. Watkins hit the ground, bounced back up to run, and proceeded to fumble the ball away to Washington. Philadelphia also suffered a late roughing the passer penalty when Taylor Heinicke fell to the ground after scrambling out of the pocket but Eagles' defenders, likely unaware that Heinicke was considered down, continued pursuing and hit the QB.
