Eagles' Tanner McKee Poised for Crucial Week 18 Start with Playoff Hopes

Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee is set to make his second NFL start in Week 18 against the Commanders, as Philadelphia rests key starters including Jalen Hurts. McKee, 25, views this as the most meaningful game of his career, with playoff seeding on the line; an Eagles win combined with a Bears loss could elevate them to the 2-seed. He expressed excitement and readiness, having prepared consistently. McKee has seen limited action this season (3-for-3, 33 yards) but previously led the Eagles to a Week 18 win last year, completing 65.9% of passes with 2 TDs and 0 INTs. Coach Sirianni praises his accuracy and development.
