Philadelphia Eagles: 5 questions for Week 15 battle with Redskins

The Philadelphia Eagles face another tough challenge in Week 15 with a road matchup against the Washington Redskins.

With only three games to go before the playoffs get underway, the pressure is on more than ever for the Philadelphia Eagles when it comes to keeping things close with the Dallas Cowboys in the race for the NFC East title.

Most teams with a 6-7 record this late in the regular season would be ruled out for any chance at winning the division title, yet this sums up just how rough things have been for the Eagles and Cowboys over the last few months.

Just the fact that one of these teams will get the honors of hosting a playoff game in January against another serious contender in the San Francisco 49ers or Seattle Seahawks seems laughable to even think about.

But of course, if Philadelphia ends up being the team in the No. 4 team, and earns the honors of hosting that playoff game, the Eagles won’t be disappointed one bit.

Before the Eagles host the Cowboys in what could be one of the most intense games of Week 16, Philadelphia must first take care of business against another familiar face on the road in the Washington Redskins.

Even though it has already been determined that Washington will be watching the playoffs from home, the Redskins would still love nothing more than to play the spoiler role in Week 15 by handing the Eagles another loss to make the race for the NFC East even more complicated.

To help fans prepare for Sunday’s contest, here are five questions worth considering for Philadelphia when taking on Washington in Week 15.
