MNF Records / Tidbits
Philadelphia: 15-15 (1-0 last season)
Washington: 24-24 (0-2 last season)
? Washington leads the all-time regular-season series 72-56-5
? The teams split last season with both teams winning on the road
In six career games vs. Redskins, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb has rushed 43 times for 348 yards (8.1 avg.) and 1 TD.
Shane Matthews was 11 of 11 for 120 yards and 1 TD on third downs last week against Arizona.
Redskins RB Stephen Davis has scored at least one TD in four straight games dating back to '01.
Redskins' injured PK Brett Conway is out for the season. James Tuthill, playing in his first NFL game, will replace him.
Philadelphia held Washington to just 19 points in 2 games last season.
The Redskins haven't opened a season 2-0 since their 1991 Super Bowl season.
So far, Washington has a 2-1, all-time series edge on Monday nights, including a thrilling 20-17 overtime victory on the night of Sept. 27, 1976 at Veterans Stadium.
Spurrier's teams have won at least their first three games in his first year there. In 1983, his Tampa Bay Bandits of the USFL knocked off the Boston Breakers 21-17 en route to a 4-0 start. At Duke, his '87 Blue Devils crushed Colgate 41-14 and started 3-0. His '90 Florida team began with a 50-7 blowout of Oklahoma State as the Gators opened the season 5-0.
I like Washington to win outright. I like what Spurrier has done, and I think the guy's a winner. Will be a great game, enjoy it all, and good luck, Washington backers.
