What is the Biggest Concern For the Washington Commanders Against the Eagles?
It is almost time for the Washington Commanders to play in a game they haven’t been to in over 30 years when they face off against the Philadelphia Eagles for a third time this season in the NFC Championship game. The Commanders aren’t favored to come out victorious but they have shown before that they shouldn’t be doubted.
The Commanders’ offense has been their strong suit this season with likely Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels leading a lethal offense while the defense has been up and down throughout the season. For the NFC Championship, both sides of the ball will need to show if they plan to stop the Eagles who boast a stingy defense and an offense led by running back Saquon Barkley.
As mentioned, this team goes as the offense goes, and that will be much needed on Sunday when they head to Philly. Jayden Daniels and his cast have been phenomenal this season and will again look to put points on the scoreboard. Unfortunately for Daniels and the offense, they will have to continue battling without their star offensive lineman Sam Cosmi who suffered a torn ACL ending his season.
With the game just on the horizon, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin wondered if Jayden Daniels’ play could help offset the absence left by Cosmi.
“Lost in the magic of their divisional-round upset of the Detroit Lions was a season-ending injury to Cosmi, who’d quietly graded out as one of this year’s top 25 interior pass blockers, per PFF,” Benjamin wrote. “Daniels has an effortless ability to extend plays or move the chains with his legs, but now up against a stingy Eagles front that includes the ferocious Jalen Carter, he might need to be especially quick with his decisions.”
Cosmi was the anchor of the Commanders’ offensive line and since his unfortunate injury, veteran Trent Scott has stepped into the starting spot. While he hasn’t been horrible, Scott isn’t Cosmi and for Daniels that might me he will have to use his legs a bit more than he is used to, especially against an Eagles’ front seven that loves to get after the quarterback.

A 26-year-old man had an argument with a co-worker before allegedly fatally shooting the colleague in Washington Heights, prosecutors said Friday.
Bobby Martin, who was charged with first-degree murder Thursday, made his first appearance Friday in Cook County court.
Martin, is accused of killing his co-worker, Antoine Alexander, 32, in a parking lot at 9411 S Ashland Ave about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Chicago police.
Prosecutors said Martin and Alexander worked together at an armed security company and got into a verbal altercation inside the guard shack on Tuesday afternoon. During the altercation, prosecutors said Alexander removed his bullet proof vest and threw it to the ground. A witness, another co-worker, then told the defendant and the victim to take the altercation outside.
After stepping outside, the defendant pulled his firearm and fired one shot into the victims abdomen, prosecutors said. The victim’s firearm was holstered at the time of the argument and the shooting. The defendant fled the scene and came into contact with another co-worker, whom he told that he had just shot Alexander.
Alexander was then taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Martin was arrested by authorities three blocks from his home approximately 20 minutes after the shooting, prosecutors said.
Martin was detained and will appear in court again on March 17, authorities said.

Washington Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury has announced that she and her husband Matt are expecting a baby in July.
The couple made the announcement in a video on the Spirit’s social media channels, holding a baby goalkeeper jersey on the pitch at Audi Field.
Kingsbury becomes the most recent Spirit star to go on maternity leave, following defender Casey Krueger, midfielder Andi Sullivan and forward Ashley Hatch.
Sullivan gave birth to daughter Millie in July, while Hatch welcomed her son Leo in January.
Krueger announced she was pregnant with her second child in October.
Kingsbury has served as the Spirit’s starting goalkeeper since 2018, and has been named the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year twice (2019 and 2021).
The 34-year-old has two caps with the U.S. women’s national team, and was named to the 2023 World Cup roster.
The club captain will leave a major void for the Spirit, who have finished as NWSL runner-up in back-to-back seasons.
Sandy MacIver and Kaylie Collins are expected to compete for the starting role while Kingsbury is on maternity leave.
The Spirit kick off their 2026 campaign on March 13 against the Portland Thorns.
YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima could soon take a major step toward redesigning Sixth Avenue after the Washington State Public Works Board awarded the city a $985,600 loan.
The loan was approved for the design engineering phase of the Sixth Avenue project. The funding can also be used along Sixth Avenue for utility replacement and updated ADA use.
The Yakima City Council must decide whether to accept the award. If the council accepts it, the city’s engineering work will move forward with the design of Sixth Avenue.
The cost of installing trolley lines is excluded from the plan. The historic trolleys would need to raise the funds required to add trolley lines.
The award is scheduled to be discussed during next week’s City Council meeting.
