The Eagles look to remain undefeated in on the season as they welcome the NFC East rival Commanders into Philadelphia on Monday night. But in a game where the Eagles are heavily favored, we’re targeting the UNDER on one of those pass-catchers who we’re not expecting to get especially involved in the action.
Jalen Hurts has truly come into his own as a passer this season amid the addition of AJ Brown to the Philadelphia offense. Hurts has cleared this passing line in five of eight games this season while coming just short by reaching 239 yards in one other outing.
Washington’s passing defense ranks 18th in the NFL in yards allowed per game. The Commanders have allowed an opposing passer to eclipse this passing total in only one of their past six games, but the matchup with Hurts precisely *seven* games ago was not a friendly one for the Commanders.
Hurts passed for a whopping 340 yards and three touchdowns in the September meeting between these two teams in Washington. Though the Commanders have trended more capably on defense in the weeks since that battle, I like the Eagles’ gunslinger to find Brown and Goedert with frequency on Monday night.
