LANDOVER, Md. - This one had the stink of some of last year's ugly defeats, when teams were able to run the ball right down the Eagles' throats.
This one resembled that October loss to Carolina when Jonathan Stewart and the Panthers rushed for 204 yards against them, and that November defeat to the Bucs when they made Doug Martin look like the second coming of Walter Payton, and that 23-point December beating by Arizona, which put up 230 rushing yards against them.
Sunday's score was a little closer than those three games. The Eagles only lost this one to the Redskins by seven points, 27-20.
