Donovan McNabb - Fumbled after getting hit from behind by Jason Taylor, which led to the Redskins first touchdown. Beautiful pass hitting Westbrook in stride down the sideline for a 47-yard gain. Eagles can't get open deep, and the Skins are squeezing them tight. McNabb hurried and throwing too low for his receivers can handle. He's low everything, may have mechanical issues. Receivers aren't getting any separation, and they've dropped 8 passes. Almost hooked up with Reggie Brown and the game-tying touchdown, but Reggie Brown cut his route just short of the goal-line and was stopped short with time running out.
Brian Westbrook - Hauled in a 47-yard catch-and-run down the sidelines but was caught from behind. Tackled inside the 5-yard line by Chris Horton. Limped off the field with 2:30 left in the game, returned but acceleration is missing.
DeSean Jackson - Took a huge hit from LaRon Landry right as the ball hit his hands. Got behind DeAngelo Hall in the fourth quarter, but he dropped what would have been a long gainer. Got behind DeAngelo Hall again on a bomb in the endzone, perfectly thrown ball but Jackson was just unable to make the play. Should have been a touchdown. Four of the seven drops were by DeSean Jackson.
Reggie Brown - Hit just before breaking the plain of the goal-line, and the clock ran out.
L.J. Smith -
Jason Campbell - Once again, he couldn't get anything going beyond 10 yards. He doesn't run a lot, but he's an effective scrambler when he does. Should have been picked off by Asante Samuel.
Clinton Portis - Left briefly with a sprained left wrist, returned in 2nd half. Stopped just 10 inches shy of the goal-line, but comes back with the TD on the next carry. Banged up again, trainers looking at his shoulder.
Ladell Betts - Betts hauled on several short passes and was Jason Campbell's best receiving option in the first half.
Santana Moss - Moss was active on underneath routes, but he couldn't accomplish anything deep against the Philly corners.
