Commanders Better Than Eagles? They Think So

When the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders meet on Sunday, the two teams know they are the NFC East's lone chance to make the playoffs and go on a deep run.

Philadelphia needs a win to wrap up the division title - their second in three years. Washington, on the other hand, can clinch a playoff spot with a win of their while also getting some help.

The Eagles won the first matchup back on November 15th 26-18 thanks to a 20-point fourth-quarter run that gave them a two-score edge in the closing minutes.

Two missed field goals and a late touchdown were why the game finished in a single score.

While the Eagles can claim the victory earlier this season, it's Washington who is making it clear that they feel they are the better team. At least that's what running back Brian Robinson Jr. believes.

"They know us, we know them," Robinson announced rather shockingly. "Going based on the first time we played, we just have to control what we can control. Off the last game, we shot ourselves in the foot multiple times. We feel are the better team and we just have to play better."

Robinson tallied 63 yards rushing on 16 carries during the loss. He scored the game's first touchdown as well.

In his mind, the only way to upset the Eagles as the "better team" will be do to what Philadelphia does best and use it against them.

"We have to attack and go right at them and execute better. It's going to be one of those types of games. We just have to go handle our business."

Time will tell if Robinson and his team will be up for the challenge here.
