NFL: Philadelphia Eagles at San Francisco 49ers

The Washington Football Team had two home games over a 4 day period to start the 2021 season. Week 1 against the Chargers didn't go according to plan, resulting in a 20-16 loss. They bounced back on Thursday Night Football in a back and forth battle with the division rival New York Giants. Washington now sits in 2nd place following their 30-29 win over the Giants, and hold the only division win in the NFC East.

Today we get to sit back, relax, and watch the rest of the NFL fight it out in Week 2 action. The two games Washington fans will be focused on today feature the Eagles and the Cowboys. Philadelphia is up first, and they are hosting the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles had a lopsided victory over a bad Falcons team last week. They will try to prove today that that wasn't a fluke as they take one a much better 49ers team. Philly is also trying to keep their #1 spot in the division.

Go 49ers!
