Their stakes are much higher this time around. The Redskins are vulnerable to the run, ranking 28th with an average of 129.8 yards per game allowed.ABOUT THE EAGLES (6-8): Philadelphia was pierced for at least 40 points for the third time in five games in last week’s loss and its 30th-ranked run defense surrendered a staggering 230 yards to the Cardinals.
MONEY MANZIEL: Johnny signs 0 bill before game against 49ers
The ball, as is so often the case, is in Manziel’s court. “The number is starting to climb but for me, these mean a lot to me”. Isn’t he cute? How long can he keep this up? At this point the scoldings and scrambles are all starting to run together.
Against Washington, the Eagles need their quarterback to deliver a performance equal to the magnitude of the game.
Picked by many national publications to finish at or near the bottom of the NFL when the season started, the Redskins are on the brink of their first division title since 2012 and second in 16 years.
