Redskins at Eagles live blog

If the Washington Redskins want to clinch the NFC East in Week 16, here’s what they must do to beat the Philadelphia Eagles.

1. Pound the rock. I think this has been a staple for this weekly feature, but the Redskins must find a way to run the ball with rookie Matt Jones inactive. They have three capable running backs in Alfred Morris, Chris Thompson and Pierre Thomas, but will Washington’s backfield have a productive outing for once?

2. Pressure Sam Bradford. In the first meeting in Week 4, Washington’s defense recorded five sacks and eight quarterback hits on Bradford.
