Eagles vs. Commanders: Five Things to Watch
- All eyes will be on Birds’ QB Jalen Hurts. Hurts dinged up knee has been a talking point all week long, The signal-caller has said he’s “fine” but it’s a storyline worth watching.
- The Eagles made a big splash earlier in the week trading for former All-Pro safety Kevin Byard from Tennessee. He’s a full go for the game according to reports.
- The Eagles defense ranks 4th in the NFL in sacks (24.0), how effective will they be getting to Washington QB Sam Howell?
- Speaking of sacks, Washington DE Chase Young has five sacks on the season. He gave the Eagles’ o-line fits in their first matchup.
- Eagles-Washington matchups are usually close, tense games. Will this one be the same?
Washington Commanders Win If…
The Washington Commanders win if they succesfully implement a similar game plan to their first outing against the Eagles. Washington held the ball for 35:07 and nickle and dimed the Eagles with intermediate routes. Sam Howell completed just enough big passes to turn the game into a shootout. Washington’s 31-points was the second highest of the season, however they’ve averaged a mere 17-points since and they’ve looked like a BAD football team.
Philadelphia Eagles Win If…
Wash, rinse, repeat? The Philadelphia Eagles win this game if they -wait for it- play their style of football. Yeah, it’s very cliche but it’s true. What the Eagles were able to do to a top tier team in the Miami Dolphins was rather remarkable considering the Birds’ “O” isn’t exactly clicking. Factor in an Eagles defense that has continued to evolve since the two teams played a few weeks ago and this game could get out of hand early.
Eagles vs. Commanders Prediction
Washington’s near upset of the Eagles a few weeks ago might just be the high point of the Commanders 2023-24 NFL season. Washington has looked like an inept football team since that game and while the Eagles hit a roadblock in the Meadowlands, the Birds put together their best performance to date against the NFL’s top offense in Miami. The talk all week has been the Phillies epic collapse the status of Jalen Hurts’ knee and not how improved and nasty the Eagles defense has looked.
Look for the Eagles defense to continue their dominate play on Sunday against a Washington team that is the definition of mediocre. Hell, the Eagles defense might even score touchdown in this one! The Birds’ defense will do enough to take all pressure off the Eagles offense and whatever ailment is bothering Jalen Hurts.
Philadelphia Eagles- 31 | Washington- 17
