The Eagles under first-year coach Chip Kelly came into FedEx Field on Monday night and made the Redskins look silly for most of the first half. There's no other way to say it, no way to be nice, no way to soften the blow. The 33-27 final is misleading. The Eagles were up 26-7 and had 322 yards at halftime.

As Nationals struggle, Dan Haren, Denard Span wonder: Is it them?

"I've had some discussion about that with Dan," Span said. "I take responsibility for not playing as well as I can play and I think Dan has done the same thing. It's just not a good feeling coming into a new team and you want to impress, and just not being able to do what you know what you're capable of doing."
