eagles, redskins, the birds best record in the nfl at 5-1.if they can beat the redskins and sweep them, they would have a 2 1/2 game league in the division. take a look at that first meeting, of course, the eagles beat the redskins in the season opener. they are looking to sweep the kins f skins for the first time in four years. the birds are hot. they could be 6-1 for the first time since they went to the treating this like a game that would get you to the super bowl. >> it's something i grew up dreaming about and a big game like this conference on the line. >> reporter: this is carson wentz's time to shine again. he's the odds on favorite from the birds and carson and the coaches are keeping all of this in perspective. they have not accomplished their goals yet. >> has a broader concept of the team concept. he knows if he does well, he can be in the conversation at the end of that season but right now his focus is week to week and i think that's so refreshing with him. >> reporter: and we just talked to david acres who is going to go into t

and they want to see the eagles do well so that is one of the reasons i like the eagles to beat the washington redskins is in that zone right now and the eagles playing with the little kid enthusiasm and playing football and playing with each other eagles 24-17 over the redskins. >> 24-17. >> mark that down you will make me accountable i know that ducis. >> the first thing we did not see a lot of it do you expect to see more in this game. >> i think you will see the balance that has been the key the complimentary offense defense and when carson has the ability to turn around and hand the ball off takes a lot of pressure off him and opens up the pass game which is critical to disorient the redskins defense. >> a rocket at the link and teaming up with phl17 to bring you a full night of football not only are we bringing you a pregame special count down to kickoff we will make an appearance in that and also have the game itself it will all air on phl17 the pregame special at 8:00 and the game at 8:30 redskins and eagles tomorrow on phl17. for jaws, jeff skversky and our entire 6abc i'm ducis rodgers thanks

the eagles won that game easily 30 to 17. the redskins have won three out of four games since then. re playing better. the eagles do not expect this game tonight to be that easy. >> it's going to be a dog fight on monday. it's a great team that's coming down here. you know, and i think it's going to be a battle the whole game. >> that's probably the one team that is the most fun to play against in my opinion just because it's so many battles even though we've lost some of them, i think they're all very close games and the fans are so close to one another that they hate us and we don't like them. >> it's a conference game and that's how we have to approach it. big stage, monday night. >> he's the guy that everyone has been doubting since day one, ducis but after all sorts of criticism last year that he's not head coaching material doug pederson has come into his own. he's earning praise from his players. i asked chris long who won a super bowl with bill belichick how pederson stacks up. >> he does a great job of setting the tone for energy and excitement every morning when you walk in

what should eagles fans be worried about with these redskins coming to town? >> one thing eagles fans are worried about is chris thompson coming out of the backfield. he's an explosive player. he reminds people of darren sproles. he's out for the season for the eagles. >> that's too bad. >> i'm sure it just hurts your heart. a 5'8" bowling ball, a guy who is really elusive, and 18 yards per catch out of the backfield. he's something eagles fans should be concerned of. >> keep hyping the redskins up. if you look at week 1, that was a totally different team, my man. chris thompson, you hyped him up. eagles fans, you'd better worry about that. let's talk about hot cleats. you look at my man, d.j. swearinger, these cleats are absolutely on fire. he's wearing these cleats in tonight's game. with metallic lettering that says equality. swearinger says with everything going on in the world with social injustice, he figures he'll use his platform to his advantage. sort of like the basketball shoes lebron james wore. but also, malcolm jenkins, he's rocking some cleats. w

we got to do what we need to do to make sure that doesn't happen. >> eagles redskins on monday nighton phl 17, we'll go one-on-one with carson wentz and much more, no jo jo last night for the sixers, joel embiid is not playing back-to-back games right now. as you can imagine, the sixers star is not happy and watching this last night will not cheer him up either. without embiid, ben simmons trying to pick up the slack, second quarts simmons, the slam, off to one of the greatest starts, a double double for the third straight game, but markel fultz struggling, how about the free throw, third quarter gets ugly. sixers out scored by 19 turnovers, sixers lost by 34. the look says it all. they're zero and three. what a finish for the flyers, left against he did monday ton yesterday, wayne simmons, the game winner, simmer gets another game winner, four of five this year, flyers won two to one. gam seven of the alcs, the yankees astros will be judged by what happens, for all eternity, erin judge robinsons the homer in the second. keeping it scoreless, judge will not get this -- in the fifth,

the redskins trying to get a big win over the division-leading eagles. this is a situation, redskins if they want any chance at the n.f.c. east division title they have to get a win against the eagles. emotions will be running high, especially for kirk cousins. the quarterback will also be playing with a heavy heart. last night his grandmother passed to his grandma last night and our prayers are with him and his family. kirk cousins doesn't have a really good hisser tri on monday night football. he is still searching for his first win. 0-5 in his career. there are only two quarterbacks in nfl history to lose the first six monday night football games. archie manning and brian joe na. he is trying to change that. >> stat like he is o-5 on monday night football is something you can put on a ticker and it creates viewership. i'd be the first one to say i don't know if it tells the whole story. if you look at what did we do in those games and how did it go, you have a narrative of what took place. that is a misleading indicator. that said i'd love to be 1-5 on

redskins just scored. eagles do lead 24-17 carson wentz three touchdown passes already.the third quarter. sorry about minute left in the third quarter. going into the fourth quarter as we speak. >>> joel embiid back witness sixers night. he was out against toronto because of that back to back schedule still on the road in detroit now. he was going to put up some numbers. sixers up on detroit early ben simmons kind of rolling on the ground here. he's going to get it over to dario saric it lays it in. sixers up nine in the second now joel embiid over to jared bail list and back down to embiid slams it home with authority. a lot of trust in that process tonight. he had 30 points on the night. simmons taking it up the court. cuts the basket and slams this one home. he had his first nba triple double. sixers win, 97-86. >>> fall classic starts tomorrow it's dodgers in astros game one tomorrow in los angeles but before the first pitch the players talked today playing in the world series is childhood dream for lot of kids. completely normal to see that same excitement for these
