The Washington Commanders are back in action this weekend, and it's another crucial divisional matchup they simply have to win.
Head coach Dan Quinn's squad must manage the prime-time spotlight against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Fortunately for Washington, this isn't the same team they lost to in Week 1.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season. Several other key men aren't available, and the Eagles are currently on a five-game losing run after a promising start. The Commanders should see this as a winnable game, and the repercussions could be severe if they cannot get the job done.
Pressure is growing on Quinn. The trade deadline is approaching, so a loss could force general manager Adam Peters into selling mode. The stakes couldn't be much higher, and the heat is on almost everyone.
With this in mind, here are eight Commanders on the hot seat (for differing reasons) on Sunday Night Football against the Eagles.
