PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Don’t tell the Philadelphia Eagles they’re about to face the second-worst defense in the NFL.
The Eagles know how tough the Washington Redskins can be, even if the statistics tell a different story. In their first meeting, the Redskins shut down Philadelphia’s offense in a 17-12 win.
Donovan McNabb’s return to Philadelphia dominated the headlines leading up to that game, but the Redskins’ defense was the reason they won. The Eagles came in averaging 28 points per game, but Washington knocked out Michael Vick and held Philadelphia to one touchdown.
The Redskins (4-4) will try to stifle the Eagles (5-3) again when the teams meet Monday night.
