With a win against the Washington Commanders on Saturday, the Eagles can repeat as NFC East Champs. No team has repeated as division champions in the NFC East since 2004. The last team to repeat was the Eagles. That is the longest streak that no team has won back-to-back division titles in NFL history.
The Birds are 9-5 and currently hold the third spot in the NFC playoff picture. Washington isn’t having a good season and have been hit by the injury bug. Quarterback Jayden Daniels and TE Zack Ertz both suffered gruesome injuries and won’t play the rest of the season. Kickoff is Saturday at 5:00 pm, and you can catch all the action with Mike Quick and Merrill Reese with the call on 97.3 FM ESPN radio South Jersey.
The College Football playoffs are here, and the first round of the playoffs start Friday night with a rematch when Oklahoma hosting Alabama at 8pm; You can hear all of the College Football Playoffs on 973 ESPN's sister station Rock 104.1 FM, and the Rock 1041 Mobile App.
