Eagles and Commanders meet in biggest game in NFC East rivalry series in nearly 30 years

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Jayden Daniels’ nascent NFL career is all of 10 games old, yet the Washington QB responsible for the instant reshaping of the Commanders into a respectable franchise, and, finally, winners, already knows when a big game is on the schedule. Behind QB Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley — who ranks second in the NFL with an average of 110.1 yards per game while Washington is 28th in the league defensively against the run, allowing 142.7 yards per game — the Eagles are riding a five-game winning streak; the Commanders have won three of four games. And I know it’s going to be a great venue, a great site, and we’ll just go out there and see what happens.” Led by Daniels, the Washington offense keeps putting up points, week in, week out, even against stingy opponents such as Pittsburgh, which entered Sunday allowing just 14.9 per game. “A really good player who started off on fire, so we’ll have a challenge here this week,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said.
