The Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Washington Redskins in a battle of NFC East foes. FOX will broadcast the game at 4:15 PM ET. Philadelphia is 2-1 overall. Washington is 1-2 overall and 1-0 in the division.

This will be the first meeting for the division rivals. Philadelphia won both games during the regular season last year.

Last week, the Eagles hammered the Jaguars 28-3, a game in which Michael Vick was the top player, completing 17 passes on 31 attempts for 291 yards while finding the end zone four times and throwing no interceptions. Jeremy Maclin also had a nice game, reeling in four balls for 83 yards and two scores. In their previous game, the Redskins were beaten by the Rams, 30-16. Santana Moss was fantastic, hauling in six passes for 124 yards and one touchdown.

Philadelphia should anticipate improvement to its passing game as the Redskins' pass defense is ranked 31st in the league, surrendering an average of 338.0 yards per week.
