The Philadelphia Eagles have flipped the script for Week 18, putting in the backups against the Washington Commanders, which means they will be showcasing one of the city's favorite players: Tanner McKee.
This will be McKee's first start of the season as he is stepping in for the starter, Jalen Hurts, as the starters will be resting for the Commanders game. McKee showcased his skills in relief action against the Dallas Cowboys and won his only start against the New York Giants last year. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni shared with the media what he has seen with McKee's development and why it has worked out well for the young QB.
