NFL, Eagles and The Commanders

Happy New Year, everyone, and congratulations to Eagles star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. ESPN named its 2025 All-Pro team. He's the lone Eagle named to the First or Second Team.
"Phillips can blow through and by tackles, and he often manhandles tight ends into the backfield when given the opportunity," Gayle writes. "He’s tied for fourth in total pressures (41) since joining the Eagles in Week 10."
For all the drama surrounding A.J. Brown earlier this season, he has now eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season. He's reached that mark in all four seasons with the Eagles and six times in his seven-year career. DeVonta Smith needs 44 yards to give the Eagles two 1,000-yard receivers. for the third time in four seasons.
Just one game separates the Eagles from their playoff opener in what will be their fifth consecutive postseason appearance. Will the Eagles play their starters or will they rest them? Will the Eagles finish with the second or third seed in the NFC?
While the Philadelphia Eagles can still get the No. 2 seed in the NFC, they reportedly plan on sidelining quarterback Jalen Hurts and others when they take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
The Packers are likely to rest players too, affecting their defense, since they are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC. That’s unfortunate, because this unit would otherwise be a nice streamer against Max Brosmer and the Vikings' lackluster offense this week.

Phillips has been the perfect trade deadline acquisition for the Super Bowl champs. He has stood out individually, and he’s elevated the Eagles’ defense to an elite level in the process — giving Birds fans confidence that, even with a struggling offense, they can defend their title.
