It was the Washington Commanders who handed the heavily-favored Philadelphia Eagles their first loss last season. And now they'll have an opportunity to do so again.
The Eagles, who last season started 8-0 before suffering a 32-21 home loss to the Commanders, are one of three remaining unbeaten teams in the league. They'll look to improve to 4-0 on Sunday when they host Washington in their first divisional game of the season.
Teams have been unable to run against the Eagles' defense so far, allowing a league-low average of 48 rushing yards through the first three games of the season. That means a Commanders team that mustered only a late field goal in a 37-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday will likely have to rely on second-year quarterback Sam Howell to make plays. The same Howell who the Bills sacked nine times and intercepted four times, capped by a pick-six.
It could be the perfect opportunity for the Eagles to reestablish their dominant pass rush from last season and extend the perfect start to their season.
