The Eagles will host the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon in South Philadelphia with a trip to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on the line.

The Eagles and Commanders have squared off twice already this season and have had split results. Coverage begins at 3 p.m. on FOX 29. The Eagles are coming off an exciting win in the snow over the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. Despite sloppy conditions and a few injuries to key players, the team was able to use their dominant run game to the tune of 285 yards rushing. Saquon Barkley was able to account for 205 of those yards, including two long touchdown runs.

Dallas Goedert, who will play Sunday after missing some practice time with an ankle injury, was the leading receiver against the rams with 56 yards on four catches. Meanwhile, AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for just six receptions and 35 total yards. With the Eagles passing game still seemingly a question mark, Washington's defense will have to try their bet to stop running back. Saquon Barkley.The Commanders were 30th in the regular season defending the run, allowing an average of 137.
