Overview
- The Washington Commanders host the Philadelphia Eagles at Northwest Stadium in Landover on Sunday night, Nov. 1, with kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET and sportsbooks making Washington roughly a 6 to 6.5-point favorite with the over/under near 40.5.
- Philadelphia, 2-5 entering Week 8, will start Tanner McKee after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season with blood clots and the team arrives on a five-game losing streak.
- Washington, 1-4-1, has lost top weapons to season-ending injuries — Terry McLaurin (torn patellar tendon) and Daron Payne (fractured foot) — but Jayden Daniels is expected to play after returning from an elbow injury and has shown recent playmaking ability.
- Saquon Barkley returned to practice but his game workload is uncertain, Philadelphia will be without key receivers, and the Eagles are expected to lean on Dallas Goedert and short-game efficiency while trying to protect McKee.
- The loser will drop toward last place in a weak NFC East and the Nov. 10 trade deadline raises the chance this game will influence roster moves and job security for both coaching staffs.
