In Week 4 of the NFL schedule, we witness an exciting NFC East matchup as the Washington Commanders lock horns with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Commanders come into this game with a respectable 2-1 record for the season, having notched victories in their first two outings but faltering against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.
Meanwhile, the Eagles find themselves in an enviable position with an undefeated record, having recently triumphed over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
The Philadelphia Eagles are -7.5 over the Washington Commanders in this game.
Commanders Seeking Bounce Back
Washington’s season had started on a promising note, with an average of 27.5 points scored per game and allowing 24.5 points defensively. However, a challenging encounter with the Bills resulted in a disheartening 37-3 loss, exposing their vulnerabilities.
Turnovers proved costly, and quarterback Sam Howell, who had been relatively solid, now has five interceptions against three touchdown passes this season.
On a brighter note, running back Brian Robinson has been a standout performer for Washington, amassing 216 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 47 carries. He and Howell are the only players on the team to have registered rushing scores thus far.
In the receiving department, Curtis Samuel and Terry McLaurin lead the charge, combining for 23 receptions and over 250 yards. Notably, Samuel is yet to find the end zone this season.
Eagles Perfect 3-0
Conversely, the Philadelphia Eagles, under the guidance of head coach Nick Sirianni, have shown no signs of a Super Bowl loss hangover. They have displayed impressive form with victories over the Patriots, Vikings, and Buccaneers. Even in moments of less-than-stellar play, the Eagles have managed to stay competitive on the field.
Defensive end Jalen Carter, a product of Georgia, has been a game-changer for the Eagles, contributing to their defense’s effectiveness. The Eagles boast a defense that allows just shy of 20 points per game.
The Eagles’ rushing attack is spearheaded by D’Andre Swift, with contributions from Kenneth Gainwell and quarterback Jalen Hurts. As a team, the Eagles rank as the second-best rushing offense in the league, averaging 185.7 yards per game.
A.J. Brown leads the team in receiving yards with 239 for the season, though he has yet to find the end zone in 2023. Remarkably, the Eagles’ injury report remains relatively clean at this early stage of the season.
Eagles Top Commanders to Stay Perfect in 2023
