Now that is more of what we are used to watching. An Eagles' team scoring just enough while the defense dominates the opponent. For the most part of the afternoon, the Eagles took their frustrations out on Patrick Ramsey. He was hit and hurried all game long, suffering 3 sacks and throwing 2 interceptions. Both INT's led to Philadelphia TD's. The second one perhaps turning the game in the Eagles favor for good. The Eagles took an early 10-0 lead, only to see it evaporate to 13-10 at the half. Washington came out and took the upper hand on the men in green as John Hall tied the game with a 45-yard FG with 7:33 left in the 3rd quarter. After another 3-and-out by the offense, #97 took control all by himself. Darwin Walker, playing at defensive tackle once again found his way into the Redskin's backfield on 3 consecutive plays. On the first play however, he was called on a personal foul face-masking penalty as he was sacking Ramsey. On the next play, he did sack Ramsey. And on 2nd-and-long, he hit QB Ramsey as he was throwing the ball. The result caused the pass to flutter up in the air right into N.D. Kalu's hands. Kalu was "Johnny on the Spot" intercepting the ball and he ran it back for his first NFL career touchdown as an NFL player. He later autographed the ball and gave it to Walker. Nice gesture.

With the win, the Eagles moved to 2-2 and are 1-0 in the division. Next week, Philly travels to Dallas for the big "First Place" showdown. The Redskins fell to 3-2, but are now 0-2 in the division. On offense, the Eagles managed 261 total yards, while Donovan McNabb struggled once again. He finished the day 16-for-30 on passes with 157 yards with 1 TD and 2 more INT's. Jeremiah Trotter, his old pal intercepted one of his 2 and returned it to the Eagles' 1-yard line. On third down, Ramsey barely reached over the goal line on a QB sneak. The big story of the game was the Philadelphia Eagles defense. The young secondary, playing without Pro-Bowler's Troy Vincent, Brian Dawkins and Bobby Taylor held the Washington pass offense in check most of the game. Redskins' QB Patrick Ramsey was the NFC's third-ranked passer, threw for only 271 yards. But he needed 50 pass attempts to just get that amount of yardage.

After Kalu scored the go ahead touchdown, the Eagles once again took over control of the game. It seemed as though they wrapped up the win after the Eagles consumed 6 minutes to drive 55 yards on 11 plays. The drive ended with Brian Westbrook ran another play for a 19-yard touchdown run, his second in so many weeks. Westbrook had another productive game, finishing the day with 64 yards on 11 carries. As a team, the Eagles ran the ball 30 times for 121 yards. The Eagles kicker, David Akers was also perfect on 3 field goals during the game. But his counterpart, John Hall was even better. With 1:11 left in the game, Hall kicked a 53-yarder to cut the Eagles lead to 27-16. The Redskins recovered the ensuing onside kick. Patrick Ramsey then proceeded to drive the Redskins downfield with no timeouts left. But with time winding down to 11 seconds, Washington had one more opportunity as Ramsey connected on a 32-yard pass for a touchdown caught by wide out Darnerien McCants to make the score 27-25. But the Eagles stopped the 2-point conversion from being successful and sending the 67,792 fans at Lincoln Financial Field home happy with the Birds first ever win in the new dig. Only one thing left to say, "Bring on the Cowboys".
