In this story:

The Washington Commanders (2-1) are on the road hoping to bounce back from a bad loss last week, but the odds are stacked against them with the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) on the other sideline.

The Eagles are one of three undefeated teams (San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins) remaining in the NFL through Week 3 and hope to keep their unblemished record in tact.

Washington's offensive line vows to better protect Sam Howell after allowing a league-high 19 sacks through three games.

The Commanders must learn from their mistakes, and fast, with a date looming against Philadelphia's strong defense and rookie Jalen Carter. The defending NFC Champions defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-11 in Week 3. The Eagles held the Bucs to 174 total yards while compiling 472 yards of total offense.
