The match against the Washington Redskins, played at Lincoln Financial Field, in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, made the home team loss to Washington, with a score of 17-12.

The Sunday match became the hottest topic of discussion for the NFL fans and members. Michael Vick, was getting the pain before the match started. He even told his team mates about his pain before the match began. However, he ignored the severity of the pain and decided to take a risk for the sake of his team. By the quarter, the injury took a severe turn and he had to leave the game, replacing himself with Kevin Kolb. Kevin Kolb played a good game, but, it was also proved that Philadelphia Eagles cannot get a smooth ride without Michael Vick. The longest run of Kevin Kolb for the day was 18 yards. Two other players from whom a better game was expected were, receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, who could not make any touchdowns and combined for four catches for 34 yards.
