UPDATE – Sunday fell apart for the Birds.
Jalen Hurts had to leave with a concussion, C.J. Gardner-Johnson got ejected, the Eagles' defense couldn't survive a Jayden Daniels-led surge, and the offense lost a lot of its punch once Kenny Pickett came in.
The Eagles lost to the Commanders 36-33 in Landover. Their win streak has been snapped, and at 12-3, they'll still be looking to close out the NFC East heading toward next week against Dallas.
Here's the immediate coverage from Week 16:
• The pivotal plays from the Eagles' collapse to the Commanders (Nick Tricome)
And as always, you can run back through the conversation from Eagles-Commanders as it happened down below.
EARLIER...
The 12-2 Philadelphia Eagles will look to extend their current winning streak to 11 games in their second of two yearly matchups against the Washington Commanders. If the Birds can take care of business, they will clinch the NFC East.
The Eagles have been mostly healthy this season, but the injury bug has hit them lately, with Dallas Goedert, Brandon Graham, Bryce Huff, and Ben VanSumeren all recently being placed on injured reserve. The Commanders are also relatively healthy, but they too have a few key players on injured reserve, like DT Jonathan Allen, RB Austin Ekeler, WR Noah Brown, and K Austin Seibert. You can see the Eagles-Commanders inactives here.
As we noted in our Eagles-Commanders preview, the Commanders have a shaky run defense. They bottled up Saquon Barkley for a while in the first matchup before Barkley eventually popped a couple of long TD runs. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles will try to slow down rookie phenom Jayden Daniels and his favorite receiver, Terry McLaurin.
The Eagles are 3.5-point favorites heading into this matchup. Here are our staff writer picks.
