If the Washington Commanders [4-5] have a chance to upset the Philadelphia Eagles [8-0] in Week 10, they need to win multiple matchups.
When the Eagles dominated the Commanders 24-8 in Week 3, Philadelphia’s defensive line overwhelmed Washington’s offensive line with nine sacks. The Commanders could not sustain drives on offense because they couldn’t protect quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz didn’t help things either, often holding onto the football too long.
Washington looks a bit different this time around. Its defense looks completely different. The defensive line is dominant, and the secondary is playing with more confidence. The Eagles will test the D-line and Washington’s confidence.
We’ve picked four matchups that could determine the outcome of the Commanders’ Monday night battle against the Eagles.
