Will Jayden Daniels rebound?
Daniels has started the season on fire and is the main reason why Washington is 7-3 on the season and likely headed for the postseason. But in a 28-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers he came a bit back down to Earth.
The rookie QB had a career-low 50.0% completion percentage (17-for-34) and the Commanders had season-low 242 yards of total offense. Pittsburgh also did a great job limiting his running ability. Daniels had just five yards rushing, the only time he's been held to single-digit yards on the ground this season.
He faces a tough task against a defense that ranks No. 5 in opponent points per game (17.9) and No. 2 in yards per game (274.1).
Eagles own rivalry in recent years
Philadelphia has won five of the last six games between these teams, including each of the last two. Both teams scored more than 30 points in each of their two meetings last season (Philadelphia won 34-31 in overtime in Week 4 and won 38-31 in Week 8).
Rare meeting of top teams in this rivalry
This will be the first meeting between these teams when both are at least four games above .500 since Week 12 of the 1996 season. That year both teams entered that game at 7-3, with Washington winning the matchup 26-21.
Gus Frerotte was Washington’s QB and Ty Detmer was Philadelphia’s QB in that game.
