**Game Recap**: Commanders give up 20 points in the 4th quarter to lose to Eagles 26-18, falling further behind in the NFC East

For the first time since Week 2, the Commanders are not in first place in the NFC East, but they can remedy that tonight with a road win against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders are facing a crucial game to reclaim the lead in the division.

Thursday night games are always a challenge for NFL teams, but Washington, with a Week 14 bye, is probably struggling a bit more than usual with team health. This health issue, particularly regarding CB Marshon Lattimore's injury, could impact the team's performance significantly.

The Eagles have won five straight games against an admittedly soft lineup of opponents but appear to have regained their form after a shaky start to the season. Despite the lack of formidable opponents, their emphatic margins of victory are encouraging.

Washington is aiming to bounce back from a stinging 1-point loss at home against the NFC North leading Steelers, whose defense presented a significant challenge. This game against Philadelphia could also be a tough test for the Commanders given the Eagles' defensive ranking.
