The Philadelphia Eagles hold a narrow 14-10 lead at the break of their NFC East showdown against the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field.
The Redskins got on the scoreboard first as Ryan Kerrigan sacked Mark Sanchez and forced a fumble, which he gathered. Robert Griffin III drove his side downfield and Kai Forbath fired his side ahead with a 25-yard field goal.
Philadelphia responded on their next drive as Sanchez and LeSean McCoy had no problem moving the ball downfield, before McCoy found space through the right side of the line to power over for an 11-yard touchdown.
The Redskins rallied and retook the lead within three offensive plays as Griffin sent a downfield pass for DeSean Jackson, while Alfred Morris finished the drive as he found a crease in the defense to register a 28-yard score.
Chip Kelly's men took some time to respond, but Sanchez found his rhythm again towards the end of the second quarter as he connected on a couple of big third down plays to set up a three-yard touchdown pass for Riley Cooper to put his team ahead once more.
