But the defense was a concern early Sunday, with Washington scoring twice on 75-yard drives.
It took the Eagles until midway through the second quarter to sack Washington quarterback Sam Howell after Howell was sacked 9 times and threw 4 interceptions against Buffalo last week.
Then the Eagles offense faltered, and penalties were a factor.
On the first drive, the Eagles stopped Washington on 3rd and 11, but Zach Cunningham was called for defensive holding. This led to a touchdown. Late in the first half, with the Eagles stopping Washington on 3rd-and-8, Howell threw the ball into the end zone to avoid a sack.
But James Bradberry was called for pass interference, giving Washington a first down at the 10. Washington settled for a field goal, putting the Eagles up 17-7.
