Philadelphia vs Washington Game Preview and Analysis

This marks the first clash of the season between these NFC East rivals, with a rematch looming in Week 18. Philadelphia has controlled the series of late, winning seven of the last nine meetings, including a dominant 55–23 victory in last year’s NFC Championship Game.

Washington confirmed earlier this week that rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been shut down for the remainder of the season, turning the offense over to veteran Marcus Mariota. Mariota delivered a steady, efficient outing in last week’s road win over the Giants, highlighted by a 51-yard touchdown strike to Terry McLaurin. Widely regarded as one of the league’s top backup quarterbacks, Mariota should allow Washington to generate offense in spurts.

Philadelphia responded to a three-game skid with an emphatic 31–0 shutout of the Raiders at home. The Eagles dominated across the board, posting a +4.1 yards-per-play advantage and a 27–7 edge in first downs, making it one of the most one-sided performances of the week. Jalen Hurts also leaned more into his mobility, carrying the ball seven times for 39 yards.

Washington’s primary concern remains its defense. Entering Week 16, the Commanders rank 31st in EPA per play allowed, 27th in success rate allowed, and dead last in EPA allowed per drop-back. Philadelphia’s offensive issues this season have mostly surfaced against elite defensive units—something Washington simply does not offer.

Key Injuries and Notes (PHI and WAS)

  • Washington: QB Jayden Daniels is out. Marcus Mariota expected to start at quarterback.
  • Philadelphia: No significant new injuries entering Week 16.

Final Score Prediction

Eagles 31, Commanders 10

ATS and Total Picks

  • Against the Spread: Eagles -5.5
  • Over Under: Under 44
