With the NFC’s top seed still up for grabs, the stakes for today’s game could not be higher. Can the Eagles maintain their momentum, or will their winning streak be disrupted? Let’s find out.
The Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) will play against the Washington Commanders (9-5) at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland today. If the Eagles win, they will clinch the NFC East.
Led by Jalen Hurts, who’s been playing through a broken finger on his non-throwing hand, the Eagles have been one of the most balanced sides this season. Key offensive players like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith continue to make an impact, with both exceeding 100 yards and scoring touchdowns last week versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Commanders and rookie QB Jayden Daniels, are coming off a narrow win against the Saints. Daniels will need to outsmart the Eagles’ top-ranked defense to give Washington a chance.
NFL fans can catch the Eagles vs. Commanders game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on December 22, 2024 at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Yes, A.J. Brown is expected to play despite dealing with a knee injury. The star receiver avoided any serious setbacks and has been cleared for the Week 16 game. Brown’s performance has been crucial for the Eagles’ offense, with 946 receiving yards and five touchdowns this season.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ RB Saquon Barkley is looking to bounce back after a modest performance last week vs. the Steelers. A frontrunner for the season MVP title, the Eagles will hope for Barkley to put on a show. When the Eagles met the Commanders earlier this season, Barkley had 26 carries for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns!
On the Commanders’ side, QB Jayden Daniels aims to continue his efficient form despite facing a relentless Eagles defense. A win here for the Commanders will take their chances to make the playoffs to 94% while a loss pushes them downwards to 77%.

Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
