Eagles Aim to Clinch NFC East Against Commanders in Key Week 16 Matchup

Philadelphia seeks its 11th straight win and top NFC playoff seed, while Washington fights to secure a wild-card berth.

The Eagles (12-2) can clinch the NFC East title and strengthen their bid for the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed with a victory on Sunday in Washington.
The Commanders (9-5) need a win and favorable results from other games to secure a wild-card playoff spot, making this matchup critical for their postseason hopes.
Philadelphia is riding a franchise-best 10-game winning streak, bolstered by league-leading performances from Saquon Barkley, who has set the team’s single-season rushing record.
Washington’s rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has improved his accuracy in recent games but faces the NFL’s top-ranked Eagles defense, which has allowed no more than 20 points in 10 consecutive games.
The Commanders’ defense will rely on newly acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore to limit the impact of Eagles receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who shone in their last meeting.
