The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Washington Redskins on Saturday in one of two special games being featured a day early this weekend. With the Redskins' hopes of making the postseason long gone, this game is all about the Redskins. They need to win to stand any hope of catching the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East division title.
Today's game will take place from the FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland and will start at 4.30 p.m. EDT, and will be broadcast on the NFL network. The game can also be watched online through live stream - free for subscribers via the link provided below.
The Eagles come into the game on 9-5 having lost to the Dallas Cowboys last week to put a massive dent in their hopes to win the division title.
With just two games of the regular season to go the Eagles are now a game behind the 10-4 Cowboys. They must win today against the Redskins and hope the Cowboys slip up on Sunday when they have a tough game against the Indianapolis Colts.
If the Eagles are unable to turn things their way this weekend, then they have just one more chance next weekend, with the Cowboys going on the road to the Washington Redskins, and the Eagles traveling to New York to face the Giants.
There is a real fear now among the Eagles fans that they could watch their side win 11 games this season and still miss out on the Playoffs. Even if they won their final two games, if the Cowboys do likewise, and the other teams competing for the Wild Card spots don't do Philadelphia any favors then come the end of the year the Eagles could be on the outside, looking in.
"Right now, we've only got nine wins," Kelly said Wednesday, according to ESPN. "I mean, for us to think of questions like that, that doesn't help us beat Washington. So I don't really think about it. If we win 11 games and it's not good enough to get in, shame on us because we didn't win the right games. That's the bottom line. That's what this whole deal is all about and we know it going in."
