All the credit in the world to Jayden Daniels and the Commanders for their surprising 7-3 record. But they aren't nearly as good as the Eagles are from top to bottom and face a brutal scheduling spot here.

The Eagles are back on track winning five in a row. Jalen Hurts has far better skill position talent than Daniels. While Daniels is looking like the Rookie of the Year, Hurts quietly has accounted for 16 touchdowns in his last five games. Philadelphia is averaging 31.7 points in its past four games.

Not only does Hurt have elite receiving targets, but Saquon Barkley should eat well, too, facing a Washington run defense that ranks fifth-from-the-bottom.

While the Eagles had an easy time against the Cowboys last week, the Commanders suffered a tough 28-27 home loss to the Steelers that could be a burst to their growing confidence and swagger. It's always tough being the road team on Thursday night. The short week also might prevent running back Brian Robinson Jr. and cornerback Marshon Lattimore from playing after missing last week due to injuries.
