Jordan Reed continues to excel, Pierre Thomas another solid pickup

PHILADELPHIA -- Five observations on the Washington Redskins' offense after the 38-24 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday night:

  1. The thing that consistently amazes me is how well tight end Jordan Reed can get open even when the defender appears to have leverage. He’s so good at attacking leverage and getting defenders to widen when they’re playing outside. He picked up 28 yards by attacking corner E.J. Biggers, who had outside leverage, to the outside and cutting back inside. On Reed’s second touchdown, linebacker Mychal Kendricks had inside leverage and wanted to force him outside.
