"One of the most intriguing subplots to watch is whether or not former Commanders quarterback Sam Howell will see any action for the Eagles. With reports that Hurts will have the day off, it feels like a safe bet that he will. Expect Tanner McKee to play the first half, and then the 2022 fifth-round pick will close it out after the intermission. The question is how he does."
"The question is how he does. During his lone campaign as the Commanders' starter, he had his moments. At one point in the season, Howell even led the NFL in passing yards. His issue was taking too many sacks, and that won't be a concern with the Eagles' offensive line. He'll throw multiple touchdowns against the organization that drafted him."
The Washington Commanders close their 2025 season against the Philadelphia Eagles with Josh Johnson named as the starter and the Eagles expected to rest Jalen Hurts and most first-team players. The game carries only bragging rights following a recent brawl between the rivals and changes nothing in the standings. Sam Howell could play for the Eagles, with Tanner McKee starting the first half and Howell closing, and Howell is predicted to throw multiple touchdowns. The Commanders plan to play healthy contributors, which could open opportunities for Treylon Burks to finish his audition for 2026 strongly.
