Here’s everything you need to know about the Eagles’ Week 11 ‘Thursday Night Football’ division game.
The Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) are on a five-game win streak, and are back at home in Week 11 to take on the Washington Commanders (7-3) on Thursday Night Football.
There was a quick turnaround heading into Thursday’s game, but thankfully, the Eagles beat the Cowboys so badly last week that some of the starters were able to get rest at the end of that game. Thanks to that win, the Eagles currently sit atop the NFC East, but it’s a close battle with the Commanders, and this game will have definitely have implications.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts had two turnovers in Dallas, this after playing super clean football since the bye week. Still, they were a bit happenstance, and he was able to bounce back to have a great game.
As good as the offense played, the Eagles’ defense is on another level. They’re back dancing in the endzone after take-aways, and being general menaces to their opponents each week. The secondary is in good hands with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and Zack Baun’s been among the best inside linebackers in the league the past few weeks.
The group will have one of their bigger challenges against rookie QB Jayden Daniels — although the former LSU quarterback is a familiar face for a lot of the Georgia Bulldogs in Philly — and a Washington team that is on the rise. It’ll also be the first time TE Zach Ertz will return to Lincoln Financial Field as a player for the Commanders. Ertz has been a red-zone favorite this season, so he’ll be itching to get into the endzone on Thursday.
