The Eagles defense coupled with Desean Jackson combined to beat the Skins in a game that was never really in doubt after the first few moments of the game. On just the 4th play from scrimmage Desean Jackson took an end around 67 yards to the house. From that point, the Eagles defense took over. At the end of the first quarter, the newest Eagle Will Witherspoon picked off a tipped pass and returned it for a TD to put the Birds up 14-0.

Jackson would add another big play TD when he streaked past the Washington secondary and caught a Donovan McNabb pass for a 57 yard TD. Desean Jackson became the first Eagle to have a 50+ yard rush TD & a 50+ yard receiving TD in a game since Bosh Pritchard did it in 1949. The Eagles went on to win their first championship that year...  In all, Jackson finished with 167 all purpose yards with 2 TDs and a 29 yard punt return thrown in for good measure.

As good as Jackson was, the Eagles defense was probably the real star of the night. They forced 4 turnovers, racked up 6 sacks, stifled the Redskins run game, and held their 5th team in 6 games to under 20 points. A defensive performance like that is going to give you a chance to win any game.

Tonight's win pulls the Eagles to within a half game of the NFC East lead.
