Washington Vs Philadelphia Eagles Game Day Preview
Who knew? Did anyone think at the start of the 2020 NFL season that the team formally known as the Redskins would have an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot on Sunday Night Football week 17?
The Washington Football Team is moving on from it’s 2019 first round draft pick and despite this controversial move, the team will clinch the NFC East with a victory in Philadelphia.
Washington Football Team
Washington played well in two previous appearances in the national spotlight, frying the Cowboys 41-16 on Thanksgiving Day and defeating the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers 23-17 in a Monday game in Week 13. Both of those wins were on the road.
“The one thing I will say, the other two games we’ve been on the stage: our guys came out and played well and had fun,” said head coach Ron Rivera. “That’s the biggest thing. We’ve got to get back to having a little bit of fun. The truth of the matter is we’re playing with house money. That’s the best part about it.”
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz issued a “no-hat rule” this week, meaning he wants to make sure Washington doesn’t get to celebrate at Lincoln Financial Field.
“We’ve got to have a no-hat rule this week,” he said. “We can’t let opponents put division win hats on at the Linc. There’s a lot of pride in that, and all our focus has to be to accomplishing that this week.”
Nine players did not practice for the Eagles on Wednesday, including defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (neck), defensive end Derek Barnett (calf), wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) and tight end Dallas Goedert (calf). Linebacker Duke Riley (biceps) was a limited participant.
