The Washington Commanders defense is off to a disappointing start to the season — and now the first-place Philadelphia Eagles come into FedEx Field flying high off an impressive 2-0 start sparked by the NFL’s top-ranked offense. Will the Burgundy and Gold defense be a season-long issue or will it eventually live up to expectations in 2022 (or at least rally in time to make Carson Wentz a winner in his first meeting against the team that drafted him)?

Speaking of Wentz … Washington reportedly passed up Jimmy Garoppolo at the last minute so did the Commanders end up with the better option at QB? And, we have a bold prediction for Maryland’s big matchup with Michigan on Saturday.

Come inside the D.C. Sports Huddle presented by MGM National Harbor with WTOP Sports Director George Wallace, Senior Content Producer Rob Woodfork and fellow sports anchor Dave Preston.
