What a frustrating game if you had the Redskins and the points. Two huge plays for the Eagles, a 64-yard TD to Mack Hollins on 2nd-and-16 to tie the game at 10 in the first half, and a third-down would-be sack by the entire defensive front Carson Wentz somehow avoided and turned into a 21-yard gain with the Eagles up seven in the fourth quarter, massively impacted the game. Credit to Wentz for making both plays, but timing matters. A long scramble on 1st and 10 isn't nearly as damaging as one that avoids a sure sack and a punt and keeps the drive going, keeps the opposing defense on the field and leads to a score.
• Kirk Cousins made a lot of nice throws, but he holds the ball way too long at times and takes unnecessary sacks. He's also not involving his outside receivers enough, though it was nice to see him target Jordan Reed 10 times.
• Chris Thompson is the team's only running back worth owning now. Thompson had 16 carries last game and co-led the team with seven (for 38 yards) Monday night. He'll never get a huge workload, but he's getting enough, and he also caught five more passes and scored.
• Rob Kelley had seven uneventful carries against a tough Eagles front. He looked reasonably nimble for him, though and seems to be over the ankle injury. Samaje Perine is buried.
• Reed had 10 targets, most of them short, but was able to break tackles at the goal line and score twice. If he can stay reasonably healthy, he's a difference-maker at tight end.
• Once again, no Redskins receiver made a major impact. Right now, I'd say Josh Doctson (five targets) is their No. 1, while Terrelle Pryor (four targets) didn't even make an appearance on the stat sheet until the fourth quarter. Jamison Crowder (six targets) caught only two passes, and Vernon Davis, a backup TE, led the team in receiving.
• Carson Wentz is an MVP candidate for the first half of the year. It's not just the four TDs and 10.7 YPA, but the timely scrambles for 63 yards. And his one interception was a roughly 60-yard punt from his own goal line, totally harmless.
• LeGarrette Blount got buried all game, never had anywhere to run. Wendell Smallwood was a little better, but not much.
• Zach Ertz never has a monster game, but he's so incredibly consistent every week. It's him, Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce, then everyone else.
• Nelson Agholor scored again, but Wentz spreads the ball around so much it's hard for any one Eagles receiver to have a huge game. Alshon Jeffery had six targets, but only two catches for 37 yards.
• The Eagles look like a juggernaut right now, but their defense is unusually dependent on the front seven. Whenever Cousins had time, there was an open receiver who often had room to run.
