The postseason is within touching distance for the Washington Commanders with three games remaining in 2024. Beating the Philadelphia Eagles on home soil would enhance their chances of reaching the knockout rounds considerably.
Head coach Dan Quinn can take solace from the fact Washington held a lead over Philadelphia on the road after three-quarters of their first encounter this season. They completely capitulated down the stretch, so nothing but maximum effort and supreme execution for 60 minutes will do.
Nick Sirianni's squad is one win away from being crowned NFC East champions once again. They are on a 10-game winning streak and boast exceptional playmakers at every position group. Washington must be ready for the significant challenge that awaits, especially in the offensive and defensive trenches.
It's a high-stakes situation for the Commanders. They have the seventh seed right now, but that could change quickly depending on results elsewhere. Quinn's men are underdogs, so it'll be interesting to see how they handle the pressure versus one of the league's heavyweights.
Eagles vs. Commanders game details

Despite not enjoying the best of fortunes against the Philadelphia Eagles in recent years, the Commanders still have an overall advantage over their long-time division rivals. However, this is disintegrating rapidly.
Washington holds an 89-86-6 record over Philadelphia. They've only won one of the last five meetings, but most games have been pretty close. Whether the Commanders can buck the trend this weekend and prove they can get over the hump against some of the league's best teams is another matter.
