Roger Goodell should save the DVR version of this game. It’s why the NFL is insanely popular.
I Don’t Get It: A cheap shot from Redskins D-lineman Chris Baker, leveling Nick Foles after what at first appeared to be an INT. Fans might not remember that it was a play involving the Eagles and Hugh Douglas, who took out Bears QB in a playoff game, that made the NFL change the rule about hitting QBs.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Jason Peters for defending his QB when Foles got rocked. That might be the moment that solidifies this team solidly behind Foles.
Quote Box: “It was obviously dirty and that kind of charged us up a bit.”
