Quez Watkins was alone and open, having beaten the Washington secondary.
Jalen Hurts hit the Eagles wideout who went to the ground in the fourth quarter but popped up without being touched.
The extra effort proved costly because a 51-yard reception became a turnover when Watkins fumbled the football.
Benjamin St-Juste forced the fumble and Darrick Forrest recovered the ball.
