The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins squared off in Week 4 of the NFL season.

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins squared off in an NFC East matchup of teams that are struggling to find their footing. The Redskins surprisingly came out strong, taking a 13-0 lead at the half.

Then all of the sudden it looked like the Eagles found themselves after Sam Bradford led two touchdown drives, throwing two touchdown passes, to tie the game.

Bradford added a third touchdown pass to Miles Austin in the fourth quarter to take the lead.

The Redskins wouldn’t be held back, and Kirk Cousins led a 90-yard drive capped with a four-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon for the win.

To make matters worse for the Eagles, they had a plethora of injuries during the game. Eagles’ cornerback Byron Maxwell left the game with a quad injury. Inside linebacker Mychal Kendricks  left the game with a hamstring injury. Left tackle Jason Peters left with a quad injury.

The Redskins came through the game rather healthy though wide receiver DeSean Jackson was inactive for the game.

Three stars

  1. Sam Bradford, QB, Eagles – Bradford’s 50 percent completions left more to desire, but he threw for 254 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers.
  2. Riley Cooper, WR, Eagles – Cooper caught just two passes for 72 yards, but one of them was a huge 62-yard touchdown reception.
  3. Jamison Crowder, WR, Redskins – Crowder had eight receptions for 78 yards.

Highlights

Cooper’s 62-yard touchdown:

Miles Austin’s go-ahead touchdown pass:

Garcon’s game-winning touchdown:
