Commanders vs Iggles pre game thread

[Coff]

I've been looking at Washington's history on prime time against the Eagles (not good) but came across this unrelated game: On Thursday, November 29th, 1984, the Redskins played a Thursday night game against the Vikings. It was a week after Thanksgiving, and I can't find any context as to why they played a Thursday game. This was 20 years before TNF was a thing. Weird. If anyone knows anything about why that game was played on a Thursday, I'd love to hear it.

As for tonight's game, I'm looking past it. We'll drop to 4-6. After that, the schedule gets much easier. With Chase back, I see this team going on a bit of a run and possibly getting over .500. I'm just hoping for no injuries tonight.
