This one should be fun, but Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Washington Commanders always is. They've been trading punches since 1934 when the other guys were stationed in Boston.
This will serve as the 180th meeting between the two. The series stands at 89-85-5 in Washington's favor following the first 179.
Philly is favored, and we like that. The Birds have won 12 of the past 15 meetings. None of that will have any bearing on Sunday's outcome, but if history is any indication, we should all be excited.
Let's discuss referees and officials.
