He spoke several times in the days leading up to the season finale about how important a self-made bye week has been for the team over the past few seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A couple of defensive players ended up on the injury list earlier in the week, which only highlighted the need for players to get rest. It\u2019s been a long season, and hopefully they\u2019ve still got a few games left to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Commanders are coming to Philly with a bit of a chip on their shoulder from the game a few weeks ago \u2014 a game that featured one of the biggest brawls of the season, leading to three ejections. But, even with Tanner McKee leading the Eagles offense, there\u2019s still a good chance the team does their part to help their postseason seeding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hang out here for updates and to chat, celebrate, vent, and argue in the comments! <\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">[Stay tuned for updates throughout the quarter.]<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Note: if the tracker isn\u2019t properly loading for you, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/lists\/127611597\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Note: This is an open thread.
