Redskins clinch NFC East title and a playoff spot by beating Eagles, 38-24
- 9 years ago
It was fitting that the champion of the imperfect NFC East was crowned Saturday night in a boo-fest of a game that will be remembered for points unscored by both teams.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for four touchdowns, and safety DeAngelo Hall added another as the Washington Redskins overcame a costly quarterback gaffe late in the first half to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-24.
With the victory, set to a soundtrack of boos from an Eagles crowd that started out jeering the visitors then turned on its own, the Redskins won the NFC East for the first time since 2012 and only the second time in the past 16 seasons.
