🦅 The Eagles (8-0) are hosting the Washington Commanders (4-5) at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night. To NBCSPhilly's predictions:
The Eagles had an extra few days to prepare for Washington thanks to their mini bye week after playing last Thursday. Things are going well for the Eagles. Sure, they have plenty of areas they still need to clean up but that’s actually a good thing because they have a perfect record without being perfect. The Eagles took care of the Commanders relatively easily in Week 3 behind a career performance from DeVonta Smith.
The Commanders are the team the Eagles will face on Monday night. But the Birds’ biggest opponent will be themselves. They are the better team on paper. It's up to the Birds to beat a team like Washington, that has too many distractions in ownership and the front office.The only things standing in the way of the Eagles starting the season 10-0 are the two most dysfunctional franchises in the NFL.
Last time these two teams met Washington had a different QB and he looked particularly shook. This time they have Taylor Heinicke, a bang-on replacement-level quarterback who has 27 TDs and 21 INTs in his career. He has the Commanders’ offense look much sharper than it did under Carson Wentz, but that didn’t take much considering their basement-dwelling DVOA numbers before Wentz was injured.
