The Eagles have a chance to win the NFC East on Saturday evening against the Commanders in Week 16.

The Philadelphia Eagles are now 9-5 heading into their Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders (4-10) on Saturday evening.

This is the first time these NFC East teams will meet in 2025, and the NFL probably anticipated some division or postseason implications on the line when they scheduled it, but that’s not exactly how things worked out. The Eagles were able to bounce back and look effective against the Raiders last week, and are now facing a Commanders team without QB Jayden Daniels, TE Zach Ertz, and OT Laremy Tunsil.

Philadelphia has managed to make it to this point of the season relatively healthy, with Lane Johnson (foot) and Jalen Carter (shoulder) the only ones out due to injury. Landon Dickerson continues to deal with a variety of ailments, and Fred Johnson has been dealing with an ankle injury, but both lineman participated at practice late in the week, and will play on Saturday.

The Eagles need just one win over the final three games to secure the NFC East title — marking the first time that a team in the division repeated since 2004. They’re also looking at heading into the postseason with the No. 3 seed in the NFC. They play the Commanders on Saturday and again in Week 18, with just the Buffalo Bills in between, and might even be able to get some starters rest down the final stretch.

Hopefully Jalen Hurts and Co. are able to sustain the level of efficiency they were able to execute against Las Vegas, and find some kind of momentum and rhythm to finish out the next few weeks. The season hasn’t always looked good for the Eagles, but playing their best football at this point should be encouraging.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the game.
