Washington Commanders fans have not forgotten about Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker's spelling bobble last week. Parker attempted a Philadelphia Eagles chant, but blurted out the wrong spelling, saying 'E-L-G-S-E-S!' at a rally on Thursday.

Ahead of the Commanders-Eagles NFC Championship showdown, Washington fans are selling 'FLY EGLSES FLY' t-shirts at the tailgate.

The Commanders enter this game as the underdog. The Eagles had high expectations since the team has experience in the playoffs, and now have the best running back in the league, Saquon Barkley.

However, Washington head coach Dan Quinn spoke about the team's mindset heading into the showdown.

"We just don't let the outside narrative kind of drive it," Quinn said , via the team transcript. "And internally we've got a lot of expectations about how we can play and what we do, but we never went too far outside of things. Did we feel dismissed or put off? Yeah, of course some, I think that happened in the opening game. I felt dismissive. 'Hey man, hang in there, it's going to be a long time.'"

"I was like, 'Hey f-you, that's not how it's going to go down.' And I was upset but it wasn't disrespect, it was dismissiveness and I felt some kind of way, but it didn't motivate me more to say that's how they think of us. It wasn't disrespect, it was, we're going to be a lot better than what we just showed today. And eventually we'll show that. So, it's not a prove it to everybody else or underdog story, it's how we get down. This is not a seven-game series and so we got to play our best on Sunday at three o'clock. And that to me is the biggest factor."

While the odds may be stacked against the Commanders, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has shown poise and skill early in his NFL career.

"He's got rare, in the moment skills that have allowed us to be into this spot," Quinn said. "When it's mental chaos going down and two-minutes, in these tight moments where it could feel that tight, he's got the experience of somebody that's played a lot more football than a first year player. But we don't get into the historical stuff, man. It's just how do we get down this weekend?"

The Commanders weren't supposed to make it this far, and yet the Washington squad is one win away from the Super Bowl. It would be a mistake to underestimate them.
