• The Redskins recorded their 82nd all-time win against the Eagles, their most against any opponent. The win was the Redskins’ first against the Eagles since Dec. 23, 2012.
• Kicker Kai Forbath converted a 26-yard field goal attempt with five seconds remaining for his third game-winning field goal of the season and the fourth game-winning field goal of his career.
• Wide receiver DeSean Jackson earned his first victory against his former team and recorded four receptions for 126 yards (31.5 avg.).
• With a 51-yard reception on his second catch of the game, Jackson surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season to post the 28th 1,000-yard receiving season in team history.
• Jackson is the fifth member of the Redskins to post 1,000 receiving yards in his first season in Washington (Bobby Mitchell in 1962, Henry Ellard in 1994, Laveranues Coles in 2003 and Santana Moss in 2005).
• The 1,000-yard receiving season is the fourth of Jackson’s career.
• Jackson registered his sixth 100-yard receiving game this season. His six 100-yard games in a single season by a Redskins receiver mark for the fourth time since 1960 (Bobby Mitchell, 7 in 1962 and 6 in 1963; Art Monk, 6 in 1985).
• Jackson now has 26 career 100-yard receiving games since entering the league in 2008, tied for fifth-most in the NFL (Vincent Jackson) in that time frame.
• The Redskins have eight 100-yard receiving performances by individuals this season (six by Jackson, one by Pierre Garçon and one by tight end Jordan Reed), the team’s most in a single season since 1999 (five by Michael Westbrook, four by Albert Connell).

• Young became only the third NFL player since the 1970 merger to finish a game with two touchdowns on two carries with only two rushing yards, joining Cleveland’s Brian Sipe (Nov. 3, 1974) and Philadelphia’s Norm Snead (Nov. 23, 1970).
• Young tied his career high with three rushing touchdowns this season among his seven career rushing touchdowns.
• Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan ended the Eagles’ first drive on a sack/fumble that he recovered.
• Kerrigan improved upon his career-high sack total this season to 13.5 with the sack, tying Ken Harvey (13.5 in 1994) and Dexter Manley (13.5 in 1984) for fourth in team history. Kerrigan tied Harvey for the most sacks by a Redskins linebacker in a single season.

• With a 61-yard completion last week and a 51-yard completion on Sunday, Griffin III posted 50-yard completions in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 11-12 of the 2012 season.
• Cornerback Bashaud Breeland recorded his second interception of the season, picking off Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez in the fourth quarter to set up the Redskins’ game-winning drive.

• The Redskins scored three rushing touchdowns, the team’s most since Week 2 vs. Jacksonville (three).
• The Redskins had a season-low 15 penalty yards on a season-low-tying three penalties.
 
Like Griffin, Morris deserves better up front. Is there any back in the NFL that faces as much contact before he hits the line of scrimmage? It seems he is always having to deek or plough through a defender that gets early penetration.

Kudos to Jackson. He has been a good teammate this year as well as the team's MVP IMO.

To get 1,000 yards on as few receptions as he has had is amazing.

Can you imagine the pinball like numbers he would have working with Brady or Manning and a good pass blocking line?
 
That was really nice seeing the squad fight like that. MUCH, better than some previous games. Maybe jay & staff have finally found the right mix of coaching/criticisms for the club.
 
Better than last year for certain.
