Redskins vs. Eagles: Keys to victory in Week 15 of the 2019 season
By Kyle Hundley
Coming off a 20-15 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Washington Redskins return home to face the Philadelphia Eagles as they start a three-game divisional stretch to end the season.
The Washington Redskins return to FedEx Field as they begin a three-game stretch against NFC East division rivals to finish the 2019 season. They return home, coming off a hard-fought 20-15 defeat to the Green Bay Packers. They once again started slow and were unable to overcome it, but battled throughout the game to make it come down to an onside kick at the end.
The Eagles are coming off a 23-17 overtime win on Monday night against the Giants, so they will be on a short week. Even at 6-7, they are still competing for the division title and the chance to host a playoff game, so this is a meaningful game to them. Last year, the Eagles took over FedEx Field and completely embarrassed Washington as they snuck into the playoffs. Will they take over again this year and administer another beatdown?
The Redskins have a chance to return the favor and put a damper on the Eagles playoff chances (though Philly’s game against Dallas next week will likely decide the division). If Washington looks to get their third win in four games and shock the Eagles, here are their keys to victory.
