There are plenty of ways to catch this week’s Monday night meeting between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles. Here are a few suggestions.
You got the sense on opening weekend of the season that this was going to be a different year for the Philadelphia Eagles. And before we get way ahead of ourselves, no one is putting Doug Pederson’s club in Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII just yet.
But that 30-17 road victory over the Washington Redskins was eye-opening. It snapped a five-game losing streak to this longtime NFC East rival and was the club’s first win at FedEx Field since 2013. The victory also ended a seven-game overall losing skid that dated back to 2016.
Now the Eagles, leaders in the NFC East with a 5-1 record, host the Redskins on Monday night in Philadelphia with a chance to sweep the series for the first time since ’13. That season was also the last appearance in the playoffs for the Birds, for what that is worth.
