The Eagles' most recent meeting with Washington didn’t exactly go how fans had hoped. Entering Week 16, the Eagles were fighting for their playoff lives. They had dropped two games in a row to the Seahawks and Cowboys, but they were primed to get back on track against a 3-11 Washington team. But as the saying goes, on any given Sunday (or Saturday in this case), anything can happen.
The two sides went back and forth before Washington jumped out to a 10-point lead as the third quarter came to a close. The Eagles fought back to tie the score at 24, but a late Mark Sanchez interception ultimately helped Washington pull away with a 27-24 victory, all but ending the Eagles’ playoff hopes.
