Commanders’, Eagles’ Road to the NFC Title Game

Washington is the only team remaining in the NFL playoffs that hasn’t played a home game. The Commanders upset the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay – 23-20 as 3.5-point underdogs – in the Wild Card Round on the strength of 268 passing yards from Jayden Daniels. The defense held the Bucs to just 284 yards of total offense.

In the Divisional Round, Washington overcame an even bigger spread, trouncing the #1 seed Detroit Lions 45-31 as 9.5-point underdogs. Daniels was superb, once again, with 299 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers. The defense, meanwhile, generated five takeaways to send the Lions packing.

The Eagles, meanwhile, took care of the Packers, 22-10, as 5.5-point home favorites before running away from the Rams in the snow at the Linc (28-22) in the Divisional Playoffs. Saquon Barkley set an Eagles postseason record with 205 rushing yards against the Rams, which included TD runs of 78 and 62 yards.

The Eagles looked to have the game in complete control in the fourth quarter, holding a 28-15 lead with just six minutes to play. But the Rams turned it into a thriller with a touchdown and a last-minute drive into the red zone that stalled at the Philadelphia 20-yard line.

Washington/Philadelphia Split Regular-Season Series

The Commanders and Eagles split their two regular-season meetings with each holding serve on their home field. Philadelphia took a 26-18 decision in Week 11, using a 23-0 run to overcome a 10-3 second-half deficit. The Eagles were full value for the win, outgaining Washington 434 yards to just 264 in the victory. The Commander defense was powerless against Saquon Barkley and the Philly ground game, which accounted for 228 yards and three touchdowns on 40 carries (5.7 YPC). Barkley had 146 of those yards and two TDs on 26 carries.

The Commander defense wasn’t much better in the Week 16 rematch. The Eagles rushed for  211 yards, led by another 150 from Barkley, and put up 33 points at Northwest Stadium. But rookie QB Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to 22 fourth-quarter points en route to a 36-33 comeback victory. The prohibitively short favorite in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds, Daniels threw for 258 yards and five touchdowns in the win while also leading the Commanders with 81 rushing yards.

Washington managed to win despite committing a stunning five turnovers (two picks from Daniels plus three lost fumbles).
