Washington Redskins 23, Philadelphia Eagles 17
The Redskins dominated possession of the football last Sunday holding onto it for 34:45 of this game. They rushed for 203 yards on 44 carries (4.6 ypc) in this game and that made everything seem to work well on the offense. Clinton Portis was outstanding rushing for 145 yards on 29 carries (5.0 ypc) with a TD run as the Eagles just couldn’t deal with him. Jason Campbell had a solid game completing 16 of 29 passes for 176 yards as all he had to do was manage this game. TE Chris Cooley led the way in the passing game for the Redskins in this one with 8 catches for 109 yards (13.6 avg) including a 18-yard TD grab from WR Antwaan Randle El.
The defense gave a great team effort in suffocating the Eagles’ offense holding them to 254 total yards. The Redskins were especially tough against the run holding the Eagles to 58 yards rushing on 18 carries (3.2 ypc). The Redskins improved to a very impressive 4-1 record with this win.
