The Philadelphia Eagles‑Washington Commanders matchup stays on Sunday Night Football for Week 8, despite earlier flex‑movement rumors. The NFL considered shifting the 1:00 PM Steelers‑Browns game into the primetime slot but ultimately kept the Eagles‑Commanders clash, according to the Inquirer’s Rob Tornoe. Both teams are struggling—Eagles fall to 2‑4 after losing QB Jalen Hurts for the season, and the Commanders sit at 1‑4‑1 with Jayden Daniels winless in his last eight starts. A win in Landover could push the Eagles to .500 if they upset the Cowboys in Week 7, keeping the NFC East battle relevant.

The Washington Wizards lose No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa for their season opener after he sprains his left ankle in the preseason finale against New Orleans. Dybantsa, who scored 12 points in 15 minutes in that game, is ruled out against the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 23 but remains day‑to‑day, with a possible return versus Toronto on Friday. Coach Brian Keefe says the injury is mild. His absence forces the Wizards, who posted a 17‑65 record last season, to rely on players like Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Will Riley while awaiting further updates.
The Los Angeles Kings will scratch former Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Washington Capitals, leaving the 4.5 million‑cap‑hit player out of the lineup for the seventh team of his career. Ceci, who logged all 82 games for the Kings in 2025‑26 and has an assist in six games this season, joins a club that sits winless at 0‑4‑2 to start 2026‑27. The move highlights the Kings’ struggles on the blue line as they hunt for their first victory.
In a dramatic comeback, the winless Los Angeles Kings rally to beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 after trailing 2-0, turning the Tuesday night game at Capital One Arena into a season‑changing upset. Capitals forward Ryan Leonard scores early, but Kings stars Artemi Panarin and Adrian Kempe each net late first‑period goals to tie it 2‑2 before Los Angeles dominates the rest of the game. Former Capitals goaltender Darcy Kuemper starts for LA, while Washington’s Logan Thompson posts a .910 save percentage. The loss drops the Capitals to 5‑3‑0, keeping them five points behind the division leaders.
AJ Dybantsa being a little dinged up should not cause Wizards fans to give up their expectations for the team.
The descendants of Chief John Two Guns White Calf, whose likeness has appeared in the Washington Redskins logo since 1971, are demanding the team restore the original name and rename the upcoming 2030 stadium after their ancestor. Their proposal includes a redesigned logo, a new Indian Head coin depicting the chief, and a meeting with former President Donald Trump, who has previously criticized the franchise’s rebranding to the Commanders. The family plans a cultural summit in Washington on Nov. 20‑21, while the Commanders remain resistant to reviving the controversial name.

The Washington Commanders fell 17-23 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, and a string of early‑game miscues proved costly. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels missed several open targets, including a 21‑yard TD throw to Antonio Williams, while Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin combined for four drops that stalled drives. The offense also suffered from five illegal shifts/false starts, seven total penalties, and a sluggish David Blough scheme that left Daniels with limited reads. Coach Dan Quinn’s clock‑management and new offensive line coach Darnell Stapleton face criticism as the team’s early‑game rhythm continues to falter.
