As the NFL season approaches its conclusion, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced their plan to rest several key starters, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, during their Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders. This decision comes despite the potential for securing the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Head Coach Nick Sirianni indicated that while the team cannot guarantee a playoff berth, prioritizing player rest is crucial for maintaining playoff readiness. As a result, fans and analysts are left pondering the implications of this strategy, especially for the Bears, who are also in contention for the No. 2 seed. The game is expected to feature many Eagles reserves looking to make an impact as they fill in for the resting starters.
