The Philadelphia Eagles are hosting the Washington Commanders this weekend as the NFC Championship is about to take place.
Philadelphia is an experienced team that has been to the Super Bowl in recent years and is coming off a 14-win regular season.
They are the favorites in this game and should be, even if the Washington Commanders are dangerous.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky believes the Eagles have to win this game.
“This would be a colossal failure if Philly doesn’t win this football game…You have the most talented roster in all of football…You get to play this game at home,” Orlovsky said Thursday morning on “Get Up.”
"This would be a colossal failure if Philly doesn't win this football game. Colossal."

A loss here would certainly be a tough pill to swallow if you are head coach Nick Sirianni and Co.
This team has everything it needs to become champions, and it would be brutal to squander such a massive opportunity.
The Eagles have talent on both sides of the ball, while the Commanders lack experience in these kinds of games.
Aside from linebacker Bobby Wagner and tight end Zach Ertz, this team lacks a veteran presence that has played in championship games.
It will be an uphill battle on the road in a hostile environment, so the Eagles could start feeling a little bit of pressure.
They know they are at home, and they know they are supposed to win, but that means they have to play like it against their rivals.
