Here are eight thoughts and leftovers from the Eagles’ 31-0 drubbing of the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon: Needed blowout. The Eagles did

With the Vikings defeating the Cowboys 34-26 on Sunday Night Football, the Eagles will clinch the NFC East and a playoff berth with a win Sunday against the Washington Commanders. The Birds will also clinch the NFC East with just one more Cowboys loss.

Adoree' Jackson, who won just three games with New York last season, offers a refreshing perspective on Philadelphia's recent struggles and the team's winning culture.

The Eagles kept Las Vegas off-balance all afternoon. They racked up 387 yards (204 passing, 183 rushing). They averaged 5.9 yards per play. They converted 10 of 13 third-down attempts, thanks to manageable distances to gain. And they punted only once.

The Raiders listed WR Alex Bachman (thumb), T Kolton Miller (ankle) and QB Geno Smith (shoulder/back) as OUT. S Jeremy Chinn (back), OL Jordan Meredith (foot) and TE Ian Thomas are listed as QUESTIONABLE.

Sunday's version of Hurts, the one who protected the ball and ran it effectively, is the player the Eagles could ride to greater heights in the coming weeks.

“Because I take pride in being a good defense,” Dean said. “I take pride in whatever defense I’m on being one of the best in the league.” The Eagles looked like that on Sunday. Sure, the Raiders’ offense is one of the absolute worst in the NFL and they were playing on Sunday with their backup quarterback. But they’re still in the NFL.
