It’s the biggest game of the year for the Washington Commanders (7-3), who take on the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) for first place in the NFC East in this week’s edition of Thursday Night Football.
Washington led the NFC East for most of the season until Sunday’s heartbreaking 28-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, the Eagles won their fifth straight game, demolishing the Dallas Cowboys to move a half-game ahead of the Commanders.
Philadelphia looks much different from last season’s version, mainly because of the addition of running back Saquon Barkley and new coordinators (OC Kellen Moore and DC Vic Fangio). Of course, Washington looks completely different from the version the Eagles are accustomed to seeing, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Here are five Philadelphia players to know ahead of Thursday night.
