Jay Gruden must have lost some of the fight. Following the Washington Redskins falling to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, the brother of the guy in the booth seemed resigned over what team will win the NFC East.
The coach noted that his team has now been swept by the Eagles this season, and that the Eagles’ lead is 2.5 games in the NFC East.
“I mean, just do the math,” Gruden said. “If you look at 3-3 and 6-1, and we’ve lost twice to them, that’s a big difference.”
Math is important. Jay Gruden is not wrong. However, admitting this in public is usually not the best way to get players to rally around some goal or task.
As for the game itself, Eagles QB Carson Wentz tossed four touchdown passes, and the Philadelphia Eagles overcame losing nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters in a 34-24 win over the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
“Carson made some unbelievable plays there in crunch-time situations,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “We lost and it wasn't good enough by anybody, offensively. But Kirk competed and made some great throws, some great plays.”
Selfishly, Wentz has become one of the few must-see gunslingers in the National Football League. Not because he is one of the best, but because he is one of the few who doesn't mind hurling it down the field without any sense of fear. He isn't one of the many (MANY) check-down specialists the league now has playing the position.
Up next for the Redskins is a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
