From the article

Elijah Mitchell caught a pass in the flat and had some room to run along the sideline. When a defender approached he stepped out of bounds. Had he tried to run through contact he would have gotten extra yardage and any contact would have forced him out of bounds to stop the clock anyway. A possible 6-8 yard gain instead became a 4-yard gain, setting up a 3rd down.

Mitchell's decision-making cost Eagles yards and field position late in half.

Mitchell caught a pass in the flat with room to run along the sideline but stepped out of bounds when a defender approached instead of running through contact; this resulted in a 4-yard gain instead of a possible 6-8 yard gain, setting up a difficult 3rd down that led to an Eagles punt and allowed the Commanders to score a field goal with 12 seconds left in the half.
