The Washington Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles for the third time this season next week. The winner of this meeting will represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
It’s the first time in the 90-year history of this storied NFC East rivalry that Washington and Philadelphia will face off in the NFC championship. The Commanders and Eagles first met in Week 11 on Thursday Night Football. Washington led throughout the game despite struggling on offense but faded in the fourth quarter when Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley took over.
In the Week 16 rematch, it was Philly who held a two-score advantage heading into the fourth quarter. But it was Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels who stole the show, passing for five touchdowns, including the game-winner to Jamison Crowder with six seconds remaining.
What happens next week in Philadelphia? No surprise, the opening odds are in, and the Eagles are early favorites, according to BetMGM.
