Then after having already blown a 14-0 lead versus the Washington Redskins last Sunday, the Eagles again failed to score a touchdown late in the fourth quarter despite being inside the five-yard line. Westbrook was stuffed on consecutive plays and Philadelphia had to settle for a field goal and a 23-17 deficit with 7:18 to |

| (Best E Casino) - When the NFL schedule came out in April, there were many prognosticators who had the Washington Redskins pegged to finish last in the competitive NFC East under new head coach Jim Zorn. In their minds, there was no way the Redskins would be sitting at 4-1 after their first five games, especially with three division rivals on the early slate. Zorn's West Coast offense has proved all doubters wrong so far, and he has the Redskins off to their best start since the 1999 squad opened 4-1 and reached |

| (Best E Casino) - Much has been made of Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt's decision to keep his team on the East Coast following its road loss to the Washington Redskins in Week 3. Needless to say, the second-year sideline boss learned a hard lesson when the Cardinals committed mistake after mistake during an embarrassing 56-35 rout by the New York Jets at the Meadowlands a week later. Arizona didn't resemble the ragtag bunch that had seven turnovers in the New Jersey swamps one bit when it took the f |

PHILADELPHIA: Blowing an early 14-point lead at home in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the red-hot Washington Redskins was shocking enough for the Eagles, but that still wasn't nearly as startling as the way the team went down to its second straight frustrating defeat. The Eagles, who entered the matchup ranked first in the NFL in rushing defense, yielded an unfores |

| Philadelphia, PA (Best E Casino) - Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been activated for Philadelphia's game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, but right guard Shawn Andrews will miss another game.

The injury occurred in a contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Because of the injury, Correll Buckhalter started the game against the Bear |
