A season in which the Eagles have been teetering on the brink comes to this indisputable fact: Washington on Saturday night is a must-win game. The playoffs, then, start at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
That’s got to be the focus for this football team after a down performance in Sunday’s prime-time game against Arizona, a 12-2 team that moved the football at will against the Eagles defense and forced two second-half fumbles to turn a seven-point halftime lead into a 20-point lead after three quarters en route to a convincing 40-17 win over Philadelphia.
