The Eagles (2-5) are on the road to face the Commanders (1-4-1) on Sunday Night Football. Let’s get to our predictions: Reuben Frank (5-2) The Commanders aren’t very good. They’ve won one game this year, they’re 19th in the league in offense and 25th in defense. Their best running back is averaging 3.8 yards per carry, their best wide receiver is out for the year, their quarterback hasn t thrown a touchdown pass longer than 10 yards. They’ve already lost to two 2-5 teams, the Colts and Eagles, and they haven’t beaten anybody in a month. I’m not sure there’s a team I’d pick the Eagles to beat right now. Maybe the Dolphins. It’s not really about who they’re playing, it’s about them. They aren’t good at anything. They’re the only NFL team ranked 27th or worse on both offense and defense. They don’t make big plays on offense, they allow too many big plays on defense, they don’t tackle, they don’t pressure, they don’t stop the run, they don’t protect the quarterback, they don’t run
