5 Takeaways: Redskins-Eagles

1. Ryan Kerrigan ends the Eagles’ comeback attempt with a strip sack.
While the Redskins took back the lead on the first play after the fourth quarter’s two-minute warning, the Eagles still had time to potentially produce a game-winning drive.

The chances of that appeared increasing as the minutes ticked down, as the Eagles marched into Redskins territory after just four plays.

Then, Philadelphia got even closer to scoring range, getting the ball down to the 14-yard line with 21 seconds left.

But as Carson Wentz dropped back to survey the field on second down, Kerrigan went around the right tackle unimpeded not only for his 11th sack of the season, but he also forced the ball out of the rookie quarterback’s hands before Trent Murphy recovered the ball to seal the Redskins’ victory.
