>> REDSKINS RUN OFFENSE VS. EAGLES DEFENSE

RB Rock Cartwright, making the fourth start of his career, displayed a decent speed burst and an ability to make defenders miss during the last two games, but there's a reason he's the third-stringer. The Eagles held Washington to 62 rushing yards last month.

Edge: Eagles

>> REDSKINS PASS OFFENSE VS. EAGLES DEFENSE

The Redskins' offensive line struggled mightily last week against Dallas' blitzing defense. But Eagles defensive backs Asante Samuel and Sheldon Brown are banged up, so WR Santana Moss must take advantage. He hasn't scored since Week 4.

Edge: Eagles

>> EAGLES RUN OFFENSE VS. REDSKINS DEFENSE

Philadelphia is 3-1 in games in which rookie RB LeSean McCoy has entered as the starter. The Redskins will be focused on stopping WR DeSean Jackson, so McCoy could see quite a few seven-man fronts. DT Albert Haynesworth didn't practice all week.

Edge: Eagles

>> EAGLES PASS OFFENSE VS. REDSKINS DEFENSE

Playing without CB DeAngelo Hall (knee) is a significant detriment to the Redskins. Philadelphia could spread the field with four receivers and test FS Kareem Moore and CB Justin Tryon.

Edge: Eagles

FINAL SCORE: EAGLES 16, REDSKINS 10
