Eagles, Commanders Meet in NFC East Showdown With Playoff Implications LANDOVER, Md. (Interstat) — The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Washington Commanders on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, in an NFC East matchup with starkly different stakes for each club. The Eagles (9-5) arrive at Northwest Stadium needing a win to solidify their playoff positioning after dropping three of their last four games. The Commanders (4-10), despite a disappointing season, are coming off a victory and look to play spoiler against their division rival. Philadelphia is led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is coming off a near-perfect performance in a 31-0 rout of Las Vegas last week. Hurts completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, adding 39 yards on the ground. However, his consistency has been an issue during the Eagles’ recent skid. Washington counters with quarterback Marcus Mariota, who orchestrated a 29-21 road win over the New York Giants. Mariota threw for 211 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 43 yards in that contest, showcasing the dual-threat ability that the Commanders will rely on. The Eagles’ offense, featuring running back Saquon Barkley, will test a Washington defense that has struggled for much of the season. The Commanders’ hope may rest on establishing their own ground game, led by Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who rushed for 96 yards and a score last week. Despite Philadelphia’s superior record, National Statistical’s game simulator projects a 28-21 victory for Washington. The Commanders have been installed as a 7-point favorite, with an over/under of 44.5 points. The weather forecast calls for cloudy skies and a game-time temperature of 79 degrees. This is the second meeting between the teams this month, following a matchup on Friday, Dec. 19. The Eagles will look to sweep the season series before a quick rematch in Philadelphia on Jan. 3 to close the regular season. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. EST.
