The Eagles stifled the Commanders offense for most of Thursday night's 26-18 win and one of the key reasons they were able to do that was the play of first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell.

The Washington Commanders took a 7-3 lead into halftime on their Week 11 'Thursday Night Football' game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a rather uneventful first half for both teams, and wide receiver Terry McLaurin was nowhere to be seen on the stat sheet.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie corner Quinyon Mitchell highlighted his Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign with a dominant performance in Thursday's win over Washington.

This is a beautiful graphic. Print it out, buy a frame, and hang it on the wall: Quinyon Mitchell aligned across from Terry McLaurin on 20 of 25 routes (80%), including 19 of 20 aligned wide (95%). Mitchell was not targeted on any of his coverage snaps against McLaurin and was targeted just once all

The Commanders' top wideout had an extremely quiet night as the Eagles strong defense erased him from the game.

The Commanders wide receiver typically tangles with Philadelphia cornerback Darius Slay, but a matchup with rookie Quinyon Mitchell could be in store Thursday.

Terry McLaurin entered Thursday night football with 58 catches for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 10 career games versus the Philadelphia Eagles. That was before the Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean era.

The Philadelphia Eagles are just one day away from hosting the Washington Commanders in what promises to be an electric clash between two NFC East rivals who are vying for the top spot in their division.
