The Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins will clash on Sunday in a massive NFC East division match up that is packed with Playoff implications. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network, or online through live stream via the link below.
Both teams come into today's clash on 1-2, and are part of a three-way tie in the NFC East along with the New York Giants on that record. The Dallas Cowboys are sitting pretty at the top of the division despite last week's loss, with a 2-1 record.
The Redskins will be kicking themselves for not taking the chance to take a slice of top spot in the division with a win last week. Now they must make sure they win today or they could find themselves at the bottom of the pile in the NFC East.
Despite their 1-2 record the Redskins have looked a much more complete team this season than last with general manager Scot McCloughan rearranging the ranks at Washington. However, it would all mean little if the Redskins dropped to 1-3, as that would put them in a hugely weak position in the division in the race for the postseason spots.
The Eagles will be very disappointed at starting the season 1-2, and they will feel they should be able to claim the win today against a Washington team still developing in areas both sides of the ball.
Earlier this week, Thursday Night Football saw the Baltimore Ravens snap their losing run. The Ravens, entering the nationally televised game on 0-3, managed to steal the win in overtime, to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20.
The game had looked like the Ravens were in for another painfully close loss. Over the opening three weeks they had lost games by small margins, and often because they had lost concentration for a period earlier in the game, and simply could not get over the line in their fight-backs.
In the second period in their game against the Steelers they looked like they had done the same thing, allowed Pittsburgh to pile on 10 unanswered points. Coming into the fourth quarter 20-14 down it looked like the Ravens were heading for another defeat and would move to 0-4. However, they finally managed to complete their fightback after failing three times already this season.
The Ravens pulled the game back to 20-20 late on to send the game to overtime, and with momentum on their side, they finally got over the line and completed their first win of the season. That result probably damages the Steelers more than it helps the Ravens though, but the game was a perfect way to get Week 4 underway, and now on Sunday there will be 13 more games taking place as the season becomes even clearer as to who will be competing and who will be falling down this year.
