The Eagles have lost more games to the Washington Commanders than they have against any other NFL team among the opponents they have faced since they began competing in the league.

Among the the main factors that contribute to the rivalry, similar to the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, is that the Eagles and Commanders both compete in the NFC East and face off against each other twice a year.

Buddy Ryan, the head coach of Philadelphia, predicted before the game that his side would defeat the Redskins so thoroughly that "they'll have to be hauled off in body bags."

The Redskins lost nine players, notably all of their quarterbacks who were available to participate, due to injuries throughout the game, proving the Eagles' coach right.

Brian Mitchell, a rookie running back, had to be sent out by the Commanders to fill in at quarterback for the shattered squad. The final score was 28-14 in favor of the Eagles. The NFL would refer to the historic clash as "The Body Bag Game."
