Redskins Shoot Down Eagles to Claim NFC East Title

(The Sports Xchange) - Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 31-of-46 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns while leading the Washington Redskins to the NFC East division title following a 38-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday.

The Redskins (8-7), who have won three in a row since falling to 5-7, will compete in the playoffs for the first time since 2012.

The Eagles dropped to 6-9 and will miss the postseason for the second time in three years under coach Chip Kelly. While Kelly won 20 games in his first two seasons, the Eagles still have not won a playoff game since he arrived.
