Fighting Hard

"In 2005, the Redskins closed the season at Philadelphia, where the Eagles were already eliminated from the playoffs and were without Owens, Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb and star running back Brian Westbrook. Yet the Eagles led 20-17 in the fourth quarter, before an interception -- one of six Washington takeaways in the game -- set up Portis's go-ahead score.

"They fought hard," Marcus Washington said of the Eagles. "They fought really hard. No one here forgot about that game. In certain situations this week we've definitely talked about that game," reports the Washington Post.
