Philadelphia Eagles: 3 keys to victory over Washington
By Jake Starr
The Washington Redskins visit Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night for a huge NFC East showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles.
At this point of the season, it looks like the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins are the toast of the NFC East. But which team is better? The two are set to face off for the second time this season in one of the premier matchups of Week 7 of the NFL season on a nationally televised Monday Night Football showdown.
The Eagles now sit atop the NFC as the only one-loss team in the NFL and have had 11 days to rest up and get healthy. A win last Thursday night over the Carolina Panthers has put the rest of the league on notice, and a win on Monday night should only help to solidify those claims
Many fans were hoping that this would be the first game of the 2017 season the Eagles broke out their sleek all-black uniforms; which have become a fan favorite, but much to the displeasure of many, the team will again don their usual midnight green tops and white pants for the third time this season.
But no matter what uniforms the Eagles decide to wear, as long as they keep winning I doubt the fans will really care.
