Will Philadelphia Take Down Washington Through the Air Again? Previewing Eagles-Redskins on MNF

Previewing Washington at Philadelphia on NFL Week 7 Monday Night Football...

When these teams met in Week 1, the Eagles rolled out their new downfield passing game and attacked Washington with vertical shot after vertical shot, usually off of play-action. The results were mixed, but the approach was revealing. Expect more. Washington’s pass rush has been so-so as of late, and Philly’s offensive line is playing well, especially tackles Lane Johnson (back from his concussion) and Jason Peters. Assuming Washington doesn’t blitz (they don’t usually, though they did in crunch time against San Francisco), Carson Wentz will have time to throw.
