    NFL: WASHINGTON (1-0) at PHILADELPHIA (0-1)

    <h3>Eagles look to continue success against Redskins</h3>



    Washington (1-0) at Philadelphia (0-1) Monday 8:30 pm EDT

    PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Eagles swept theWashington Redskins last season on their way to winning the NFCEast title.


    Looking to continue their success against the Redskins, theEagles host their NFC East rival on Monday night.


    Philadelphia has dominated the season series against Washingtonin recent seasons, winning eight of the last 10 meetings.

    In the meeting between the teams here last season, the Eaglescoasted to a 27-3 win. Donovan McNabb threw an 84-yardtouchdown pass to Donte Stallworth and cornerback Sheldon Brownreturned an interception 70 yards for a score.


    It also was an especially painful game for Redskins running backClinton Portis, who suffered a broken right hand in the firstquarter. The injury forced Portis to miss the final seven gamesof the season.


    The Eagles nearly squandered an 18-point lead in the secondmeeting last season before holding on for a 21-19 victory.

    Philadelphia's win in December came without McNabb, who missedthe final six games with a torn ACL in his right knee.

    Making his return, McNabb struggled with his accuracy in lastSunday's 16-13 season-opening loss at Green Bay. The five-timePro Bowler completed just 15-of-33 passes for 184 yards and atouchdown with an interception.


    The Eagles came up short against the Packers despite notallowing an offensive touchdown.


    Philadelphia was done in by its special teams as Greg Lewismuffed a punt that was recovered for a touchdown. Lewis wasreplaced by J.R. Reed, who also muffed a punt with under aminute remaining, setting up rookie Mason Crosby's 43-yard fieldgoal with two seconds remaining.


    Washington also was involved in a low-scoring game in its openerbut emerged with a 16-13 overtime triumph over Miami.

    Portis made a successful return to the lineup, rushing for 98yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. He split time in thebackfield with Ladell Betts, who gained 59 yards on 17 attempts.

    Betts gashed the Eagles in the second meeting between the teamslast season, rushing for a career-high 171 yards on 33 carries.

    The Redskins will be looking for more in the passing game fromJason Campbell, who went 12-of-21 for 222 yards and twointerceptions in the opener. His favorite target was AntwaanRandle El, who had five catches for 162 yards.


    Campbell and Randle El will not have to deal with Eagles ProBowl cornerback Lito Sheppard, who is sidelined indefinitelyafter suffering a sprained MCL in his knee last week.
