The Washington Commanders entered Week 16 with everyone looking towards Week 17. The Eagles, and their obnoxious fanbase, were coming to Northwest Stadium riding a 10-game winning streak. Jalen Hurts was knocked out of the game in the first quarter, and Kenny Pickett had some success early, but was shut down for most of the game. The Commanders came from behind to get the 36-33 victory.
The Washington Commanders playoff odds increased with their upset win over the Eagles. They didn’t get any help from the Giants, who lost to the Falcons today, but they can clinch a spot in the playoffs on Sunday night when Atlanta visits Washington.
