We're a little over halfway done with the 2024 NFL regular season. 10 weeks have gone by, and the inaugural game of Week 11 is approaching quickly. Last Thursday gave us another instant classic game between two divisional rivals, the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Baltimore triumphed once again, beating Cincy 35-34 in a back-and-forth game that once again saw fantastic performances from both quarterbacks and plenty of offense. We can only hope this week's game lives up to the billing -- luckily, two divisional rivals will face off once again.
So who is playing on Thursday Night Football? How can the game be watched, and who will win?

Who is Playing on Thursday Night Football?
The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, famed and bitter rivals from the NFC East, will face off tonight in a showdown that could have serious playoff implications. It could also play a big part in deciding who the eventual division winner is. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys don't have a chance at the NFC East crown.

The Commanders are currently 7-3, while Philly has won seven games while dropping just two contests. The winner of this game will be in sole possession of first place in the division, meaning the stakes are incredibly high.

The Philadelphia Eagles' website has a solid breakdown of how to watch this game. As with all TNF games, it will mainly be streamed to Amazon Prime and Amazon Prime Video subscribers. However, fans in the Philadelphia and Washington areas can watch the game on Fox.
Of course, NFL+ subscriptions also allow you to watch this game, and there are various other methods for prospective viewers in other countries.
Who is Going to Win?
It's tough to predict who will win this game, but typically, the team with the deepest roster has the edge. The Eagles have an elite pass-catching corps (wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert), an elite running back in Saquon Barkley, and a mobile quarterback capable of taking his team to the Super Bowl.
Their defense has also turned the corner ever since drafting rookie defensive backs Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. Mitchell has been nearly lockdown this season, and WRs matched up against him have done very poorly. If Philly can limit Commanders WR Terry McLaurin, it could be tough for their QB, sensational rookie Jayden Daniels, to find throwing lanes.
Quinyon Mitchell's last 5 games in coverage combined:
- 19 targets
- 9 catches allowed
- 87 yards allowed
- 0 TDs
- 60 passer rating allowedIt's time to put the rookie in the All-Pro discussion. He's been incredible. pic.twitter.com/xiO9i6RboW

Mitchell vs. TMac is the key matchup to watch out for, but how Washington's offensive line holds up to the Eagles DLs will be crucial as well. Washington has a fighter's chance to come out on top, though, and neither team seems likely to blow the other one out. This is one game you won't want to miss.
