Redskins have momentum going into the playoffs
The Washington Redskins are going to be a dangerous team heading into the NFC Playoffs. They defeated the Philadelphia Eagles at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium on Sunday, 21-14, and have won three in a row to end the ’97 season.
QB Jeff Hostetler did a tremendous job guiding the Redskins the final games of the season, but starting QB Gus Frerotte and RB Terry Allen will be back as the Redskins prepare for the NFC playoffs. Hostetler threw for 191 yards on Sunday on 19 of 30 passing with a touchdown and an interception.
RB Stephen Davis is another tough Redskin back as he rushed for 86 yards on 23 carries on Sunday with a touchdown. They also got 19 yards and a TD from fullback Larry Bowie.
The Eagles (5-11) finished the ’97 campaign in disappointing fashion. They lost six of their last seven games when QB Ty Detmer went down to injury. On Sunday, backup QB Bobby Hoying threw for 328 yards with 2 TDs and an interception. WR Irving Fryar caught seven passes for 173 yards and a TD.
The Redskins (11-5) still don’t know their place in the NFC playoffs. Depending on the Saints and the 49ers, the Redskins could host a playoff game on Wildcard weekend or they could actually have a first-round bye depending on the 49ers’ game versus the Seahawks.

Chandler has a big day in Falcons win!
Atlanta Falcon QB Chris Chandler is quietly having his best year of his career, despite the Falcons 7-8 record and not being involved in the playoffs. Chandler had a big day in the Falcons’ 34-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday in the Georgia Dome. He threw for 332 yards on 24 of 33 passing with two touchdowns and one interception.
On the season, Chandler has completed 59% of his passes for 3,559 yards with 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He has a 92.4 QB rating, which puts him in the top ten in the league.
The Falcons also got a huge workhorse day from RB Jamaal Anderson. He rushed for 128 yards on 29 carries with a touchdown. On the season, Anderson topped the 1,000-yard mark on the season with 1,070 yards and five touchdowns.
The Falcons controlled the ball the entire day against the Eagles. They held the ball for over 38 minutes in the game and ran 79 offensive plays. They racked up 484 total yards and held the Eagles to 233.
The Falcons will end their season next Sunday at Arizona, while the Eagles (5-10) will travel to Washington.
