KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHILADELPHIA: Head coach Chip Kelly may not have brought his Oregon playbook to the NFL, but what he's running is fairly close. The tempo and overall spread principles are what make this the league's best rushing attack, as well as LeSean McCoy's ability to exploit cutback lanes when defenses flow too fast to the perimeter. McCoy might have his workload lightened a little bit, but he's still going to get an enormous number of carries. Unlike during the Andy Reid years, the Eagles are run-heavy in the red zone under Kelly. McCoy takes most touches inside the 20, often taking advantage of exhausted defenses at the end of drives. All-purpose back Darren Sproles could end up being used as a runner a bit more often than he was in New Orleans, while Chris Polk is more of a traditional back-up.
The Eagles use a lot of crossing routes that become high-percentage due to the threat of the running game, plus quarterback Nick Foles holds onto the ball for a long, long time. They'll use a lot of two-tight end looks, most often targeting either Jeremy Maclin or tight end Zach Ertz over the middle. Foles has good chemistry with No. 2 receiver Riley Cooper, who often takes advantage of single coverage against smaller defensive backs with a lot of comeback routes. Rookie Jordan Matthews will play inside in three-receiver sets. They also love the screen game, with McCoy and Sproles.
Defensive coordinator Billy Davis was brought in before 2013 to improve the team's pathetic 13 takeaways, and he did just that with 31 forced turnovers, which tied for third in the NFL. FS Malcolm Jenkins was the only significant free-agent pickup, but first-round draft choice DE Marcus Smith should be able to contribute right away.
WASHINGTON: New head coach Jay Gruden ran a pass-heavy offense in Cincinnati, much more so than the Shanahans did the past two years. Gruden has strongly hinted toward scrapping the zone read option, which fueled a big part of Washington's success in the running game. Alfred Morris figures to lose a little more playing time to Roy Helu as the Redskins show a little more of a finesse game, but Morris will still do a solid amount of between-the-tackles grinding. Quarterback Robert Griffin III will see far fewer designed runs in an attempt to keep him healthy.
Gruden and new offensive coordinator Sean McVay, Washington's former tight ends coach, are both versed in a West Coast offense, so the passing game shouldn't look drastically different. They'll move Griffin around and rely on the catch-and-run ability of Pierre Garcon and tight end Jordan Reed, who is in for a much larger role in this offense. He's a matchup nightmare in the middle of the field who will also be used heavily in the screen game. When they throw inside the 20, Garcon has always been Griffin's favorite red-zone target. They figure to work some different looks for Reed, and second tight end Logan Paulsen saw a fair amount of play-action looks inside the five. They'll use a lot of three-receiver sets with Andre Roberts stepping in as a slot guy, while DeSean Jackson will be an every-down deep threat.
The Redskins made some strong free-agent signings like defensive tackle Jason Hatcher, free safety Ryan Clark, cornerback Tracy Porter and linebacker Akeem Jordan. But this defense has a long way to go to reach respectability after a season where they ranked tied for 30th in the NFL in scoring defense and 27th in yards per play.

*Eagles-Redskins Preview* =========================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

No longer in control of their playoff destiny, the battered and turnover-prone Philadelphia Eagles are facing what amounts to a must-win situation against the historically bad Washington Redskins.

With the visiting Eagles looking to avoid their longest losing streak in 15 months, Robert Griffin III hopes to make the most of another opportunity Saturday and help the Redskins halt a six-game losing streak.

Philadelphia (9-5) led the NFC East following a impressive win at Dallas in Week 13, but back-to-back home losses to Seattle and the Cowboys have dropped the defending division champs one game back in the division.

Now the Eagles need to beat Washington and the New York Giants and a Dallas loss to either Indianapolis or the Redskins to return to the top. They'll have to win both games while Seattle, Green Bay or Detroit has to lose twice to secure a wild card berth.

"I don't know if playing a scenario out in your head makes you feel better or whatever; I don't know how that helps you," coach Chip Kelly said. "It's about one thing we can do and that's go out and Washington on Saturday."

Kelly understands his squad will likely have to cut down on its league-high 34 turnovers to reach its goals.

With injured quarterback Nick Foles not quite ready to return, Mark Sanchez hopes to bounce back after completing just 56.3 percent of his passes for a combined 348 yards with two scores and three picks in his past two.

"That's what has been hurting us," Sanchez said. "We need better ball security and that starts with me."

Washington (3-11) is tied for 31st with five interceptions and has forced 16 turnovers on the season. The Redskins are also allowing 28.3 points per game during a skid that has guaranteed a last-place finish for the sixth time in seven seasons.

Following a 24-13 loss to the Giants last Sunday, they've lost 19 of 22 for the franchise's worst stretch since the 1960s.

Washington has been particularly ineffective offensively, averaging 12.0 points over its past five games. Alfred Morris has struggled on the ground, rushing for a combined 55 yards on 22 carries in the last two.

Griffin will be back under center after he was benched two weeks ago amid criticism from coach Jay Gruden over the former Heisman Trophy winner's ability to lead the offense. He went 18 of 27 passing for 236 yards with a touchdown and also ran for a season-best 46 yards last Sunday after Colt McCoy aggravated a neck injury.

"He's got every chance this week against the Eagles to take this position and run with it," Gruden said. "And I'd like to see him have some urgency about him and play well, and hopefully there won't be much of a debate if he does well."

Washington's leaky offensive line has given up the league's second-most sacks with 53. That certainly doesn't bode well heading into a matchup with the Eagles, who rank second with 47 behind Connor Barwin's 14.5.

Philadelphia, though, will be without outside linebacker Trent Cole after he had surgery on his broken left hand. Brandon Graham will make his first start since 2012 when he was a defensive end in a 4-3 alignment.

The Eagles, who have allowed 29.8 points per game over their last five, did not record a sack while allowing Kirk Cousins to throw for 427 yards in a 37-34 victory over the visiting Redskins on Sept. 21.

Foles started for the Eagles, finding Jordan Matthews for two touchdowns and Jeremy Maclin for another score. Maclin has 16 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games versus Washington.

LeSean McCoy managed 22 rushing yards on 1.2 per carry - his worst average since his rookie 2009 season - after he had run for a combined 261 and three scores in two 2013 matchups.

The Eagles have won the past three meetings.
