Commanders vs Eagles Preview
The Eagles are fresh from a 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Quarterback Jalen Hurts went 23-37 for 277 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, also rushing for a score. Running back D’Andre Swift had his second straight game rushing for over 100 yards, finishing with 130 yards on 16 carries (that’s a whopping 8.1 yards per carry).
On defense, Philadelphia held the Bucs to 174 total yards of offense, with just 41 yards courtesy of the ground game. Rookie interior defender Jalen Carter has been a force through three games, and he could be a big problem for the Commanders if they don’t account for him. Still, the undefeated Eagles say they’re nowhere near their full potential yet.
“It’s a growth process. We’re not a final product yet,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said. “Everybody wants us to be a final product now, but it’s a growth. You want to grow every day, so we’re not going to be playing our best football until we get going into the season. We still [have] things to work on, and we still [have] growth to do. If you’re truly in the mindset of getting better every day — if you’re truly in that mindset of getting better every day, which I know that we are on this team, you’re going to continue to rise. You’re going to keep getting better.”
On the other side, Washington is coming off its first loss of the season, a 37-3 dismantling courtesy of the Buffalo Bills. Commanders QB Sam Howell had a rough outing, completing 19-of-29 passes for 170 yards and four interceptions. He was also sacked nine times. Running back Brian Johnson Jr. had a solid game, rushing 10 times for 70 yards, but he didn’t have enough touches.
On defense, Washington couldn’t do much to stop Bills QB Josh Allen, failing to sack him once.
“There’s so many things that we’ve tried to put into play,” Washington coach Ron Rivera said about his young team. “We revamped our offensive line. We’ve got a young quarterback, we’ve got a new coordinator. There’s a lot that’s going through right now that we’ve got to deal with and work on. But again, we’re going to go out, and we’re going to show up every Sunday. We’re going to play our butts off.”
On the injury front, the Eagles will be without safety Sydney Brown (hamstring) and wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring), while safety Justin Evans (neck) is questionable. For the Commanders, running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will miss the game due to illness, and safety Percy Butler is questionable with a foot injury.
Broadcasters slated to call the game include Joe Davis, former Dallas Cowboys fullback Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Pam Oliver, who will report from the sidelines.
