This time, the Commanders might be taking part in for his or her postseason lives this Sunday at 1 p.m. at Northwest Stadium.
Washington carries a modest two-game successful streak into the sport and the Eagles have a present NFL-best 10-game successful streak occurring.
“Yeah, I imply, they’re an excellent staff, rightfully so,” Daniels stated this week to the Washington media. “They play arduous, they play bodily, they play the correct method, and if we need to win soccer video games or win the shut ones, win the massive video games, you gotta play in opposition to some good groups. And Philly’s simply on the clock, so hopefully we go on the market and compete in opposition to them once more.
“Regardless of who we play, all the pieces begins up entrance. They bought good soccer gamers over there, we bought good soccer gamers right here, so it’s extra so in regards to the will and the need to up-front between all people and simply the entire staff need to go on the market, who desires it extra. The staff with the extra need to will prevail on this sport.”
Eagles’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio dressed some issues up the primary time these groups met, laying again and forcing Daniels to throw. When Fangio was requested this week if he would change something up, contemplating it was barely over a month in the past the 2 groups performed, Fangio stated, “Probably not. We have to do what we do greatest and proceed to try this. Clearly, you would play them a bit of bit completely different right here and there. If you happen to overdo that, you then’re placing your gamers in uncomfortable positions.”
