The Eagles visit the Commanders on Sunday night in a Week 8 matchup between NFC East teams looking to stop their seasons from slipping further. Philadelphia has lost five straight, while Washington returns from its bye with one win in six games. Tanner McKee is expected to make his third start for the Eagles, facing a Washington defense that has struggled to stop the pass; the Commanders will lean on Jayden Daniels and top receiver Stefon Diggs.

By the Numbers
  • Philadelphia is 2-5 after five consecutive losses; Washington is 1-4-1.
  • The game is Sunday, Nov. 1, at 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
  • Watch on NBC or stream on Peacock.
  • McKee has thrown 40 passes per game in his two starts; Daniels has 213 rushing yards and 116 pass attempts without an interception.
  • Washington allows 254 passing yards per game, while Philadelphia allows 240.
Yes, But

McKee could find room against Washington’s pass defense, but he has completed only 49 of 80 attempts, and Philadelphia’s line has allowed 18 sacks. Daniels brings a different challenge: Washington’s offense protects the ball and runs effectively, while the Eagles have managed just eight sacks.

State of Play
  • Jalen Hurts remains sidelined by blood clots, leaving McKee in line for his third straight start.
  • Washington is coming off its Week 7 bye; Terry McLaurin is out for the season, making Diggs the team’s leading receiving threat.
  • Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter could be key to creating a turnover against a Commanders team with just two giveaways.
What's Next

The matchup hinges on whether Philadelphia can pressure Daniels and disrupt Washington’s ball security—and whether McKee can protect the ball and stay upright. The Eagles will also need to contain Daniels’ third-down scrambles.

Bottom Line

Philadelphia needs a steadier offense and a defensive playmaker to end its skid; Washington’s run game and Daniels’ efficiency give the home team a clear path to capitalize if the Eagles can’t deliver either.
