"Last season, Luvu was responsible for a controversial hit on quarterback Jalen Hurts that knocked him out of the team's regular-season contest in Washington. Then, of course, he took matters into his own hands in the playoffs, attempting to stop Philadelphia's "tush push" play. He was unsuccessful, but his entertaining display of determination made him an instant Commanders cult hero."
"Marcus Mariota outplays Jalen Hurts, who he was once a backup to Eagles fans hate nothing more than being reminded that their success comes despite their quarterback, because it's true. When they win, it's usually because of a dominant defensive display or their elite offensive line allowing running back Saquon Barkley to wreak havoc. When they lose, it's because Hurts isn't good enough to do the heavy lifting."
The Washington Commanders will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, meeting for the first time during the 2025 regular season after facing each other in the previous season's NFC Championship. The Eagles defeated Washington 55-23 in that playoff game and can clinch the NFC East at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders enter with revenge motivation and face a task to spoil Philadelphia's celebration. Linebacker Frankie Luvu is expected to play with intensity after a controversial hit and a playoff attempt to stop the Eagles' 'tush push,' despite recording only three sacks this year. Another projection expects Marcus Mariota to outperform Jalen Hurts.
