Gilbert completed 20 of 31 passes for 194 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Washington's 27-17 loss to the Eagles on Tuesday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by the offense.

EDGE Analysis

The journeyman certainly held his own in the emergency start, but he wasn't able to make enough impact plays to overcome some stellar individual performances by multiple Eagles. Gilbert also unsurprisingly relied heavily on dump-off passes to Antonio Gibson and Ricky Seals-Jones, who accounted for half his 20 completions 14 of his 31 pass attempts. Gilbert could have a good chance of at least serving as the No. 2 quarterback for the Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night, considering one of Taylor Heinicke or Kyle Allen may still be in COVID-19 protocols for that contest.
