Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders: How to Watch, Betting Odds
In this story:
The Philadelphia Eagles welcome their division rival Washington Commanders to town on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in a matchup with a rich history of "anything can happen" that dates back to 1934 when the Commanders still called Boston home.
Philadelphia remains undefeated in the young season after a 25-11 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. But still fresh on the mind of most Eagles players is the 32-21 loss to the Commanders last season that gave Philadelphia its first loss after an 8-0 start.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni says players are due for a breakout game and that may happen this week.
“We’re going to do whatever we need to do to win the football game,” Sirianni said. “Our offensive line is playing great, and I think we’ve had some really good performances in the pass game, as well. It’s just the way the flow of the game goes sometimes that can sway the numbers a little bit.”
Washington is coming off a 37-3 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 in a game where Commanders quarterback Sam Howell threw four interceptions and was sacked nine times. It was just the sixth time since the Super Bowl era began in 1966 and the first time since 1995 that a defense sacked a signal caller nine-plus times and picked him off four-plus times.
