NFC EAST Eagles dominate Redskins, 31-7

There is rampant speculation over the future of Redskins coach Steve Spurrier.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles guaranteed themselves a week off. There's no telling what's in store for the Washington Redskins.
In a dominating performance, Donovan McNabb completed 23 of 32 passes for 242 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score Saturday night in a 31-7 victory over Washington that clinched the Eagles' third consecutive NFC East title.
The Eagles (12-4) secured a much-needed off week to rest their injured players; running back Brian Westbrook joined the list when he tore a triceps muscle in the first half.
Philadelphia will have home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs if St. Louis loses to Detroit today.
The Redskins (5-11) lost 10 of their last 12 and finished with their worst record since going 3-13 in 1994, and there is rampant speculation over the future of coach Steve Spurrier.
Spurrier has said the franchise needs to undergo significant changes, but he had refused to be specific about his plans until the season was over.
Among Washington's lowlights: The team broke the franchise record for penalties in a season, committing nine to finish with 124 and surpass the mark of 122 set in a 12-game season in 1948.
Strong performance
McNabb moved impeccably in the pocket, finding open receivers on the run as the Eagles scored touchdowns on their first three drives to take a 21-7 halftime lead.
He was also savvy enough to spot tight end Chad Lewis completely uncovered to the right on a second-and-goal at the 3. With the Redskins' defense confused, McNabb took a quick snap and hit Lewis for the easy touchdown for the game's first score.
McNabb strolled across the goal line on a 1-yard bootleg to make it 14-0 and celebrated by doing his version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance. The 96-yard drive was kept alive by a third-down illegal-contact penalty on safety Todd Franz.
McNabb then hit Freddie Mitchell with an 8-yard TD pass following a fumble by Redskins quarterback Tim Hasselbeck deep in Philadelphia territory. In the second half, McNabb threw an 11-yard TD screen to Correll Buckhalter, who scored with an outstretched dive for the pylon.
McNabb completed passes to 10 receivers, including himself. One of his passes was batted back to him by LaVar Arrington, although the catch was a bad decision that resulted in a 7-yard loss. McNabb was over the 100-yard mark with room to spare in the first quarter, completing seven of his first nine passes, including a 40-yarder to Todd Pinkston.
Few highlights
Rock Cartwright's 1-yard second-quarter run was Washington's only score.
Bruce Smith, the Redskins' defensive end and NFL sack king was honored at halftime of his final game. The cries of "Bruuuuuce!" turns to boos when Smith thanked owner Dan Snyder, who has overseen four consecutive non-winning seasons. The 40-year-old Smith finished his 19-year career with 200 sacks, breaking Reggie White's mark of 198.
The Redskins were outscored 58-7 in their final two home games, both against NFC East teams. Dallas beat them 27-0 two weeks ago. The Eagles traveling fan contingent was so large that linebacker Keith Adams was able to go to the end zone and lead cheers during a break in play in the first half.
