Commanders vs. Eagles: NFC East Finale with Playoff Seeding on the Line in Week 18
The Washington Commanders (4-12) travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles (11-5) in a Week 18 divisional clash at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles have already clinched the NFC East and a playoff spot, but they’re still in the hunt for the NFC’s No. 2 seed — needing a win plus a Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions. Washington, eliminated from postseason contention, aims to play spoiler and build momentum heading into the offseason in this heated rivalry.

Why It Matters
Philadelphia, powered by stars like Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, enters on a hot streak and could rest some starters if the No. 2 seed slips away early. Washington looks to end a tough season on a positive note, potentially disrupting Eagles plans in this twice-in-recent-weeks rivalry (the teams met earlier with Philly holding the edge). A win locks in better playoff positioning for the Eagles, setting up a stronger path through the postseason.
