    Week 11 of the NFL season kicks off with a huge NFC East matchup that has a chance to decide a host of factors heading into the playoffs. The 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles host the 7-3 Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football this week, with the two teams ending Week 10 very differently. The Eagles were the latest team to knock off the Cowboys in Dallas, while Washington couldn’t. unable to hold on to a late lead at home against the Steelers.

    Philly has won five straight games and would remain tied with the 8-1 Detroit Lions, who currently sit in first place in the NFC, with a win Thursday. The Commanders, who have won three of four, would take the NFC East lead with the road victory and will host the second matchup between the two teams in Week 16. Jayden Daniels enters the week still leading the race for Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Jalen Hurts is fifth in the NFL in passer rating and second in the league in rushing touchdowns.
