The Eagles will play at Washington on Sunday. Here are the game predictions from our Eagles beat writers for Week 3.There’s an obvious Carson Wentz-Jalen Hurts angle heading into this NFC East tilt, but the two former teammates obviously won’t face each other on the field. So the real focus should be more on how each quarterback and his offense fares against the opposing defense and vice versa. And for the third week in a row, on paper, the Eagles should have the edge on both sides of the ball.
Washington coach Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio will try to find some way to contain Hurts’ mobility. But last week showed, more than anything, that he is developing into a quarterback who can burn you with his arm. And with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Quez Watkins at his disposal, it’s almost pick your poison if the Commanders decide to roll coverage toward one receiver.
Wentz could channel his additional energy into a strong performance. It’s also possible the circumstances cause him to press, and when he presses, things can get ugly. Offensively, there’s reason to believe the Eagles could have another strong outing. Washington has some talent on its defensive front, but the group ranks 28th in defense-adjusted value over average and is 31st against the run, according to Football Outsiders.
