PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Another road win against a division opponent
has the Washington Redskins in perfect position to make a run at
the NFC East.
Clinton Portis ran for 145 yards and one touchdown, wide
receiver Antwaan Randle El threw a TD pass and the Redskins beat
the Philadelphia Eagles 23-17 on Sunday.
Washington (4-1) has made it through the first five games under
new coach Jim Zorn way better than anyone expected. The Redskins
went to Dallas last week and handed the Cowboys their first loss,
26-24. They've now played all three division rivals on the road and
their next three opponents -- Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis --
entered this week with a combined record of 1-10.
