NFL reportedly considering flexing out of Eagles-Commanders SNF

The NFL is reportedly weighing the removal of the Week 8 Sunday Night Football matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders, a decision that must be finalized by October 20. This potential flex comes as the Eagles, who won the Super Bowl two years ago and have claimed the NFC title in two of the last four seasons, have suffered three consecutive losses to fall to a losing record for the first time under head coach Nick Sirianni.

The league's decision will likely hinge on the outcomes of this week's games, specifically the Eagles hosting the Carolina Panthers and the Commanders traveling to face the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. A poor performance by either team could prompt the NFL to seek a replacement, with the Los Angeles Rams versus the winless Los Angeles Chargers identified as a viable alternative.

The Eagles remain a significant priority for the league, which has scheduled seven additional standalone games for them, including four primetime slots and appearances on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.
