Dan Quinn knows the Commanders' defense has a huge challenge ahead this Sunday, facing Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. In the first contest between the Commanders and Eagles (Nov 14), the Washington defense kept the Eagles out of the end zone in the first half.

Saquon Barkley said Wednesday that he is feeling good after he was briefly knocked from the Eagles’ 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with a minor injury. The team’s injury report following practice — and following Barkley’s session with reporters in the locker room — backed that up.

Broncos can clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Chargers. Plus, Eagles and Vikings have stiff tests as they battle for the top seed in the NFC.

We went 2-3 on our top picks in Week 15, and 8-8 overall with a 13-3 straight-up record. What did we miss on? The Washington Commanders blew a double-digit lead to the New Orleans Saints, the Pittsburgh Steelers were dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions were upset by the Buffalo Bills.

That created a three-way tie for the top spot in the NFC after the Vikings beat the Bears on Monday night. The Eagles, Lions and Vikings are all 12-2 with three games remaining, meaning that the battle for the top seed is very much in play.

The race for the No. 1 seed in the NFC took on a whole new life this past week. No longer are the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles duking it out for home-field advantage (and the lone bye) in the NFC playoffs,

If the Vikings win their remaining three games, they're in great position to earn the No. 1 seed, regardless of what the Eagles or Lions do.
