With yet, another must-win game on the line for the Philadelphia Eagles, which five players are key to a victory over the Washington Redskins?

Every week is do-or-die situation from here on out as long as the Philadelphia Eagles are facing NFC East opponents. While the division is currently the Dallas Cowboys‘ to lose, the Eagles still have a fair shot at taking back the crown as long as they can stay afloat within the division. Last week, they were able to take care of the New York Giants at home. This week, they will have to host the Washington Redskins for the first time in 2018.

With Redskins’ quarterback Alex Smith out of the picture, the Eagles will get the opportunity to face their backup, Colt McCoy. In other words, the Eagles are set up in a favorable situation to win as long as they come out playing like they want to win. Slow starts for the Birds have been the norm this season, and it’s frustrating to witness.

They need to come out firing on all cylinders from kick off all the way until the final whistle blows in the fourth quarter. This is the perfect time for the Eagles to warm up and get a hot streak going, but everybody needs to be on the same page. In order to get the team motivated to want to win though, these five players need to be on top of their game.
