Eagles roll past Redskins 27-17
By Joseph White
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 10 - 2009

DeSean Jackson scored on a 67-yard reverse throw and caught a 57-yard touchdown pass in the first half as the Philadelphia Eagles converted three turnovers into points Monday in a 27-17 win over the Washington Redskins.
Nearly all the scoring came in the first half of an injury-filled game - Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook (concussion) and Washington's Chris Cooley (right ankle) left early and didn't return. The win got the Eagles (4-2) back to form after last week's jarring loss to the Oakland Raiders.
Donovan McNabb completed 15 of 25 passes for 156 yards, getting his 200th touchdown pass and surpassing 30,000 yards passing for his career. The defense sacked Jason Campbell six times, and newcomer Will Witherspoon ran back an interception for a touchdown and created another turnover even though he's been with the team for only a week.
Offensive consultant Sherm Lewis has been with the Redskins (2-5) for only three weeks after being lured out of a retirement consisting of bingo-calling and Meals on Wheels – and his first try at calling the plays proved as unsuccessful as when head coach Jim Zorn was handling the task.
Zorn was stripped of the duty by the front office after last week's loss to Kansas City, causing so much consternation that the front office then felt the need to announce that Zorn won't be fired anytime soon.
It made no difference. The makeshift offensive line again failed to protect Campbell or create room for Clinton Portis, who rushed for only 43 yards and at one point chucked his helmet on the sideline in frustration.
Campbell finished 29 for 43 for 284 yards and two touchdowns for the Redskins, who have yet to score more than 17 points in a game this season. Campbell threw his seventh interception of the season, one more than he had all last season.
Washington trailed 27-10 at halftime, and Campbell's consolation touchdown pass to Fred Davis in the final two minutes was the only scoring in the second half.
