Even as the Philadelphia Eagles have developed into a powerful powerhouse capable of dominating some of the league’s best teams, the Washington Commanders have had their own share of success. The Commanders’ history of building their squads has resulted in them being labeled as matchup nightmares for the Eagles. And, with both teams competing for the conference championship, the Eagles are continuously concerned about the Commanders’
defensive line as a whole.”They’re really good,” All-Pro Lane Johnson stated. “They work incredibly hard together and conduct games well. Together, they form a formidable, intelligent defense. They make few mistakes and play well together. They did a terrific job of deciphering what we were doing in the second game (a 36-33 win for Washington on December 22), so we need to make adjustments.” Even with Daron Payne out due to a knee and finger injuries, the Commanders continue to pose a threat to Philadelphia.And it has made the rest of the roster realize how vital each position will be. “Excited for the opportunity that’s ahead of us,” Dallas Goedert remarked. “They’re a good group because of the way the edges play.” They have good players in the interior. Both of their linebackers are extremely mobile. It will be a good test for us, but as I usually say, if we are strong up front, we will be difficult to beat. “I’m just excited to go out there with the offensive line and see if we can move people around.” Philly’s starting center Cam Jurgens (back) and tight end Goedert (ankle) are both out with injuries. Goedert will undoubtedly play on Sunday, while Jurgens is labeled as questionable. Quarterback Jalen Hurts(ankle) is no longer on the injured list. Will Philadelphia’s offensive line rise to the challenge against a bunch that has plagued them for years? Time will tell.
