Long gone is the sentiment that the Washington Redskins' defense would need to bail out the team's anemic offense if Washington was to win many games. In each of the past three weeks, quarterback Jason Campbell and the offense built fourth-quarter leads, only to watch on the sideline as the defense took the field and relinquished them.

Statistically, the defensive unit is still one of the league's best, but late in games it has given up big plays and long drives that have cost the Redskins potential wins against playoff-caliber teams.

PHILADELPHIA -- At the end of their latest game in which they simply were not good enough, the Washington Redskins again watched in disappointment as another NFC East opponent, this time the Philadelphia Eagles, rallied late for a victory. Philadelphia made the key plays in the fourth quarter Sunday afternoon in a 27-24 win at Lincoln Financial Field that included many familiar scenes for the Redskins, who would prefer better endings for themselves.
