Redskins Game Thread: NFL Week 7 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Washington Redskins are facing the Philadelphia Eagles tonight in a Monday Night Football battle. Discuss all the action here on our game thread!
Tonight is a big night for the Washington Redskins. They are playing their third primetime game of the year and their second game against the Philadelphia Eagles. They are 1-1 in primetime games so far, and a victory would go a long way to helping them in the NFC East battle.
As it stands right now, the Eagles lead the division with a 5-1 record. They have played very well to start the season, and they are just a few plays away from being undefeated. Doug Pederson has his offense playing at a very high level and it appears that Carson Wentz is on his way to becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the game. They will not be easy to beat, but the Redskins will still have a chance.
On the road, the Redskins are going to have to win the battle in the running game in order to get the best of the Eagles. The Eagles don’t have a strong run game, but they do have a strong run defense. The Redskins need to be able to keep the Eagles defense honest, so finding a strong runner will be important.

Additionally, this is going to be a tough contest for Kirk Cousins. Cousins unfortunately confirmed that he had lost his grandmother unexpectedly. Cousins wrote about his loss in an Instagram post. It’s quite possible that Cousins’ mind will not be entirely on the field, so the other Redskins have to step up and help carry the team. They should take the pressure off Cousins and support him as much as they can.
This is definitely going to be a good game. It well could turn into a shootout. The Redskins will have a chance to win, but they need to get a few defensive stops to avoid playing catch up the whole contest. By halftime, the Redskins will know what they have to do to have a shot at a victory.
