Tonight at 8:25 p.m. ET on NFL Network the Eagles (6-8) will host the Redskins (7-7) in an NFC East tilt that could clinch the division for Washington.

The Eagles need the game much more than Washington does, because if the Eagles lose, their chances of making the playoffs are over. The Redskins can still make the division even if they lose tonight, but will clinch the NFC East and be able to rest their starters with a victory.

The top priority for Philadelphia will be coming up with a way to contain DeSean Jackson, the Redskins’ No. 1 receiver. Jackson was unceremoniously let go by Philadelphia before the 2014 season, and he made them pay both times he faced his old team. Jackson caught nine passes for 243 yards and a touchdown in two meetings last year, but missed these two sides’ first meeting of 2015.
Jackson won’t be an easy cover, especially with the Eagles dealing with injuries to their top two corners Byron Maxwell and Eric Rowe. He also will be catching passes from Kirk Cousins, suddenly one of the NFL’s hottest quarterbacks.
