Take away a bad call by a ref that led to a gift TD for the Redskins on the Birds' opening drive on a pass that was ruled a lateral, and this is even a bigger blowout. The Eagles never let it affect them, and simply went back to work.
I Don’t Get It: So much for that one national mag's pick of the Redskins, 41-0. Of course, I also picked Washington to win pretty easily.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Chip Kelly. He can own this town. Andy Reid doesn't coach here anymore.
