Last night's game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles was one of the best matchups of the week. It featured one of the three games that featured both teams having seven or more wins.

With the loss, the Commanders are 7-4, losing two in a row, while the Eagles improved to 8-2 on the season, solidifying their top spot in the NFC East division.

The Commanders will look to bounce back next week against the Dallas Cowboys.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are on a six-game win streak. They'll face the Los Angeles Rams next week.

Both the Eagles and Commanders will likely fight for the NFC East division until the last week of the season. The Dallas Cowboys are 3-6 and the New York Giants are 2-8, both far from contending for the NFC East.
