NFL Game Summary - Washington at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Nick Foles threw for 298 yards and ran for a score while LeSean McCoy had 77 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries for the Philadelphia Eagles, who snapped a 10-game losing streak at home with a 24-16 win over the Washington Redskins.

Philadelphia (6-5) jumped out to a 24-0 lead through three quarters and held off a late Washington surge to get its first win at Lincoln Financial Field since Sept. 30 of last year against the New York Giants.

Robert Griffin III led a furious fourth quarter comeback for Washington (3-7) and finished with 264 yards on 17-of-35 passing with two touchdowns and an interception.

Griffin's lone interception came on Washington's final drive of the game. The march started on its own 4-yard line after a 70-yard punt from Donnie Jones. Santana Moss made a 28-yard reception on 3rd-and-25 following a facemask penalty on fellow wideout Pierre Garcon. Griffin led Washington to the Eagles 18, and on 3-and-1, was hurried and tossed a prayer off his back foot into the waiting arms of Brandon Boykin.
