So hard to say without knowing more about player health. If Hurts is still too banged up to use his legs next week that makes the Eagles defense a lot easier to handle (still hard with the other tools they have). If he isn’t a running threat I could see the Commanders cheating on Barkley more, and try to force Hurts to make plays, trusting in their secondary that has been looking much better. And how is the Eagles secondary health going to be?
My take is that Jayden Daniels is going to have to pull out some magic to win this one. But he’s shown the ability to do that time and time again this season and hasn’t seemed phased in doing it. I would guess that the Eagles are more likely to win this game for sure, they just have a ton of talent, while Washington isn’t quite there yet. But I wouldn’t put it passed this Commanders team to pull out a win, and if they do manage to go to the Super Bowl what a first chapter Jayden has written for himself in his NFL story.
