What there is to know
The Washington Commanders are at home on Sunday, but with a 6.5-point point spread against them, that might not be quite the welcome they’d prefer. The Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles will square off in an NFC East battle at 1 p.m. ET at FedEx Field. Washington lost its two games against Philadelphia last season by scores of 17-27 and 16-20, so they hope to turn things around this season.
Washington fell short against the Detroit Lions last Sunday, losing 36-27. Despite the loss, Washington got a strong showing from QB Carson Wentz, who had three touchdowns and 337 yards on 46 attempts. Wentz ended up with a passer rating of 143.90.
Meanwhile, when you finish 222 more yards than your opponent like Philadelphia did last Monday, a favorable result is almost sure to follow. They passed the Minnesota Vikings with points to spare, winning the game 24-7. Philadelphia’s offense pulled out after the first half, but still had enough points in reserve to win the game. Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts tossed it as he passed for a TD and 333 yards on 31 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 57 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Hurts’ 53-yard TD bomb against WR Quez Watkins in the second quarter.
Philadelphia’s win made them 2-0 while Washington’s loss brought them down to 1-1. We’ll see if the Eagles’ success continues or if the COs are able to steal their positive momentum.
