The Redskins fell to the Eagles in a Monday Night contest that featured so many injuries it came to be known as the 'body bag' game.

Jeff Rutledge started the game and led Washington on a second quarter drive that tied the game at 7 by halftime. But Philadelphia knocked Rutledge out of the game, and with no other healthy quarterbacks, RB Brian Mitchell had to take the snaps from center.

The Eagles scored three TDs in the third quarter, including a fumble return, to take control of the game. Mitchell did lead the Skins to a fourth quarter TD (which he ran in himself), but the game was already out of reach.
