The Eagles and Commanders sit atop the NFC East and appear on a collision course to determine the division winner and playoff seedings. Over the next three weeks, Philadelphia will face two NFC East opponents, facing the Cowboys (Week 10) and Commanders (Week 11) within four days.
The NFL trade Deadline is just three days away, and Washington is looking to make a few big moves to contain A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that the Washington Commanders are calling around in search of a potential trade for a cornerback. According to the report, head coach Dan Quinn wants a jolt to the secondary, and at 6-2, Washington needs help if they get past the Philadelphia Eagles and their superb receiver group in the NFC East.
It’s no surprise the red-hot Washington Commanders are calling around in search of a corner. Coach Dan Quinn knows this is a weakness on his roster, and at 6-2, Washington needs help if they want to get past the Philadelphia Eagles and their superb receiver group in the NFC East.
The Eagles are averaging 28.3 points per game since Week 6 while recording the 2nd-most rushing yards per game (182.0), trailing only San Francisco (184.0). During that span, Philadelphia is one of only
two teams with 0 turnovers, joining Washington in that category.
Despite missing three games due to injury, A.J. Brown leads the team with 408 yards and 3 TDs on 21 catches (19.4 avg.). His 102.0 receiving yards per game rank 2nd in the NFL, behind Nico Collins (113.4).
Brown is the first Eagle to log 80+ receiving yards in each of their first four games played to start a season since Terrell Owens in 2005. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who caught a 45-yard TD in Week 8 at Cincinnati (2nd-longest touchdown of his career), are the only NFL teammates with multiple 40+ yard touchdowns.
Brown ranks 3rd in the NFL in receiving average (19.4), trailing only Alec Pierce (24.6) and Jameson Williams (21.2).
