Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons visit Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on Sunday night in a prime-time game with significant playoff implications

Two first-round rookie quarterbacks will face off in prime time for the first time in NFL history on Sunday night as Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders host the Atlanta Falcons and new starter Michael Penix Jr.

Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion. The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games.

The Eagles (12-3) had an opportunity to clinch the NFC East last week with a win over the Washington Commanders but a go-ahead touchdown from Washington with six seconds remaining ended those chances.

The Commanders have ruled out Marshon Lattimore for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Fellow starters Andrew Wylie and Dyami Brown also have been ruled out.

Lattimore previously missed the initial four games after the Commanders acquired him from the New Orleans Saints at the trade deadline.
