Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will face the Philadelphia Eagles for a third time in the NFC Championship.

While Daniels and the Commanders lost the first meeting on the road, they clawed back to beat the Eagles at home in December, setting the stage for a rubber match in the biggest game of the season.

Daniels spoke on how the team will alter its game strategies from the first two meetings ahead of the NFC Championship.

“I think you put some different wrinkles into the game plan, and I'm pretty sure they will too," Daniels said. "But at the end of the day, it's about execution and fundamentals and that's a very good team that we're going to face for a third time again. So, they got a lot of good players, obviously we know them, they know us, so it's going to be a fun matchup going up against them on Sunday.”

Given how evenly matched these two teams were during the regular season, whichever squad comes up with the best adjustments will likely be the one going to the Super Bowl.
