The night after Christmas was the backdrop. Saturday Night Football on NFL Network. For one team a chance to win the NFC East for another team a chance to keep their season alive. Kirk Cousins for the 2nd time during the 2015 season made the Philadelphia pass defense look like Swiss cheese. Unlike the 90 yard game winning touchdown drive in Week 4 down in Washington, late game heroics weren't needed. Philadelphia took a 7-0 lead. Washington ultimately won the game 38-24. During Desean Jackson homecoming. The receiver was drafted by Philadelphia in 2008. Following the 2013 season Chip Kelly released him. Washington is 3-1 the last 2 years against the Eagles since Jackson has landed in the DMV. Tight end Jordan Reed was in beast mode well over 100 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns. There wasn't a Philadelphia linebacker or safety that could contain him. Washington improves to 9-6 with a chance at a double digit win season in Dallas next week. Meanwhile for 2nd straight year Eagles (6-9) will play a meaningless game up the New Jersey Turnpike against the Giants. Kelly and Lurie the Eagles head coach and owner will have plenty of questions to answer shortly at season end.
