The Washington Redskins face the Philadelphia Eagles in a NFC
East contest on a chilly day at Lincoln Financial Field. The
best that can be said for the Redskins is that they can win.
Not that anyone expects them to. The Redskins are 10 point
underdogs to the Eagles. But Washington's effort against the
Cowboys stokes the dying embers of hope that something good can
emerge from the season.  The best chance for Washington to win
this game is old fashioned football. Run the ball. Stop the run.
The absence of Clinton Portis and Brian Westbrook change the
dynamics of the contest. Both were the leading scorers for their
team. Both Westbrook and Portis scored 12 touchdowns in 2007.
That's three touchdowns for every four games they played.  No
back on either team is close to that performance this season.
Eagles' receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Brent Celek are on
a pace for eight touchdowns each.  Jackson, who was judged too
short to play for the Redskins, already gashed Washington for a
67 yard touchdown run
