The Eagles and Commanders have been playing against each other since 1934, but rarely have they been good at the same time.
Josh Harris owns the Commanders, 76ers and Devils. Two of those three teams are off to great starts this season. One of them is a mess.and Washington Commanders mostly haven’t been one. This will be the 90th straight year they’ve gone against each other, starting withYou could argue that it’s really only 10 because the first time both teams had a winning record in the same season was 1943 when the Eagles and Steelers teamed up to become the Steagles during the middle of World War II.
That’s the brief and unspectacular 90-year history of the Eagles and Commanders, which did also include an ill-fated trade of Sonny Jurgensen from the Eagles to Washington. The Eagles got Norm Snead. Washington got a Hall of Fame quarterback.That’s about to change and here are the reasons why Eagles-Commanders is the preferred primetime game in the NFC East this season and perhaps even for the next few years.
It’s hard to imagine any owner in the NFL being more despised than Harris by Philadelphia fans. When he just owned the 76ers that was fine. But to own three different teams in three markets that are so close together makes it feel like he’s only in it for the money, which he probably is. Hurts said he has kept in touch with Johnson this season, but he said he does not know how much influence he has had on Daniels.One things Eagles’ fans have in common with Commanders’ fans is their disdain for the Cowboys. But Thursday night’s matchup has an interesting twist with former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore calling the plays for the Eagles and former Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn working as the head coach for the Commanders.
