This season, the Commanders are averaging 20 points per game and have given up the third-most points.

Well, the winning streak of the Eagles was stopped by the New York Jets in week 6. However, in week 7, the Eagles bounced back with more determination and thrashed one of the best teams in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins. There is no doubt that the Eagles are performing exceptionally well, and their confidence is unmatched. Their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is continuing his performance from last season into this one. Out of the 7 games played so far, he has thrown at least one interception in 5 games.

The Eagles’ offense is performing wonders. It will be difficult for the Commanders to tackle the Eagles’ offense, where Jason Kelce and other players are showing a good performance. In terms of scoring points, the Eagles are currently 4th in the NFL with a total of 186 points. If the Commanders want to win this game, they need to come up with a strong defensive strategy.
