"Even as the Washington Redskins' offense sputtered, holding a potent Philadelphia Eagles team down for three quarters was an encouraging sign. But the fourth quarter was a discouraging end to a season that could be described using the same vocabulary.

After limiting the third-ranked offensive team in the NFL to just 13 points and 200 yards through three quarters, the Redskins collapsed in the final 15 minutes. The Eagles rolled up 190 yards and 21 points, turning a tight game into a 34-10 rout.

"Things just got out of hand," linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said.

It speaks to a season's worth of defensive breakdowns, as this was the fifth time the Redskins allowed 33 or more points."
