The Washington Commanders lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day, dropping to 4-12 for the season. It’s been a long wait until Sunday to find out if the Philadelphia Eagles will have anything to play for in Week 18 when they host the Commanders for the season finale. The Eagles squeaked out a win in Buffalo when the Bills went for two, instead of attempting the extra point to take the game into overtime. Philly still has a shot to move up to the #2 seed in the NFC.
The Washington Commanders are currently sitting in the No. 7 overall spot in next year’s draft, and they can’t drop any lower than that. They can move up with help from other teams. QB Marcus Mariota had stitches in his throwing hand last week and didn’t play on Christmas day, and he was listed as day-to-day. Washington also has other players who are dealing with injuries that could be shut down for the season finale. Will the Eagles play their starters, or do they even need to for this sad finale to a lost season?
