The Washington Football Team plays the Philadelphia Eagles for the second time in three weeks Sunday at FedEx Field. While division rivals are familiar with one another, it’s not often they have rematches two weeks apart.
For Washington, this is the second such scenario in consecutive weeks. Last week, Washington faced the Cowboys for the second time in three weeks and was blown out of AT&T Stadium by the beginning of the second quarter.
Washington was without several key starters in the last meeting, including quarterbacks Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen. The WFT started Garrett Gilbert under center, four days after signing him off the Patriots’ practice squad.
Washington will enter Sunday’s meeting without some key performers, but Heinicke will start at quarterback. If Heinicke performs like he did in his last two starts, Allen may see the field.
Here are three key matchups that could determine the outcome of Washington’s Week 17 rematch against the Eagles.
