Before Sunday’s huge NFC East contest, Commanders running back Brian Robinson stirred controversy by saying Washington “thinks they’re a better team” than Philadelphia.

Early in the first quarter was Eagles were up 7-0, and had they gone up 14-0, Robinson would have contributed significantly to the deficit. As the Commanders tried to answer a Saquon Barkley touchdown run, Robinson was stripped by Jalen Carter and fumbled in Washington territory.

Then early in the second quarter, Robinson fumbled again, giving the Eagles great field position.
