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 is worse at either, and Washington own both.

Philadelphia can use the first: they finish 73.7% of their own red-zone trips, fourth-best in the league.

What they cannot do is throw — 1,240 passing yards at 80.4, and McKee has two starts.

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 converting 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.
