Washington Commanders v Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday 3pm ET/8pm GMT) 

Story of the season: Jayden Daniels is one game away from the extraordinary. A stunning seven-win rampage through the winter leaves Washington with just Philadelphia to beat for the NFC championship and Daniels to become the first rookie quarterback to lead his team to a Super Bowl. They need a second win in six weeks over an Eagles team with the strongest roster top to bottom in the NFL. But Philly’s stacked lineup, with Saquon Barkley at its nucleus, rang rings around the Commanders for an easy victory the teams’ other regular-season meeting, in November. The Eagles will be desperate to spoil the rookie’s party while clinching this unlikely season-defining series.
