Worst at both ends of the field

Eighty-one point eight per cent allowed in the red zone and 30.9% converted on third down. No team in the NFL is worse at either, and Washington owns both.

Philadelphia should be able to use at least the first: the Eagles finish 73.7% of their own red-zone trips, the fourth-best rate in the league.

What they cannot do is throw. Twelve hundred and forty passing yards at 80.4 is the eighth-lowest total in the league, and McKee has two starts to his name.

Players to watch

  • Tanner McKee (PHI, QB): Two starts since Jalen Hurts went on injured reserve.
  • A.J. Brown (PHI, WR): The senior target in an attack finishing 73.7% in the red zone.
  • Jayden Daniels (WAS, QB): Five touchdown passes and no interceptions at 97.6.
  • Terry McLaurin (WAS, WR): A primary target in a passing game rating 94.2.
