QB Jalen Hurts went 14-20 and threw for 202 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Hurts also for 56 yards from seven carries and scored two touchdowns.

QB Jayden Daniels, playing with injured ribs, was 17-34 and threw for 202 yards Running back Austin Ekeler scored two touchdowns with 44 yards from 13 carries.
This game has massive implications for the NFC playoff picture. The results last week moved the Eagles into the number two seed, and pushed the Commanders down to the number six seed, which means the Commanders would have to travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons. The Eagles, however, would be at home to the Green Bay Packers, if the playoffs started this weekend.
Prediction – This really is too close to call. Both teams are playing excellent football at the moment so it should be a great game. The Eagles win this one by 3 points and cement their number two seed.
