In January 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, going on to win the second Super Bowl in franchise history.
Now, the two teams will face for the first time, 11 months removed from the 55-23 domination that sent Philadelphia to New Orleans. This time, Philadelphia once again has plenty to play for: with a victory over the Commanders this Sunday, the defending Super Bowl champions will officially clinch the NFC East crown for the second straight season, the first time the division has had a repeat winner since 2004.
The Eagles rebounded from a three-game losing streak in Week 15, throttling the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0 at Lincoln Financial Field. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and co. Look to get the offense hot before a potentially long playoff run; they face a unit that ranks 26th in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing 26.8 points per game.
On the other side, Washington has not had the season it envisioned since making the NFC title game to start 2025. The Commanders have dealt with injuries, specifically to superstar quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has been shut down for the remainder of the season. But, with a win, Washington can get revenge for what happened in January.
This is a game you won't want to miss, with the Eagles on the cusp of the NFC East title and the Commanders looking to make it two wins in a row.
