Napsal: pon 06. srp 2018 9:14:18LANDOVER, Md. - The Philadelphia Eagles have proved themselves to be a mirage, a team that got away with its faults until it couldnt any longer. Leaders in the NFC East as recently as a week ago, theyre now just about done in the playoff race, and theyre in no position to argue that they deserve any better.Penalties, missed field goals, two more turnovers by Mark Sanchez and an inability to keep track of former teammate DeSean Jackson turned into a 27-24 loss to the lowly Washington Redskins on Saturday night, the Eagles third straight defeat and one that gives Dallas two chances to clinch the NFC East.Were currently minus-9 in the turnover margin, so us having nine wins is really impressive for that, said safety Malcolm Jenkins, echoing the mood of a locker room hit with a communal reality check. And really we were on borrowed time playing that style of football. If we had run the table in December with that kind of football, it would have been surprising, and its something we didnt fix.Sanchezs interception with 1:31 remaining — his 13th turnover in seven games — led to Kai Forbaths winning 26-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining as the Redskins (4-11) snapped a six-game losing streak.The Eagles (9-6) will now be rooting for Indianapolis to beat the Cowboys (10-4) on Sunday. A Dallas win eliminates Philadelphia. A Dallas loss keeps a modicum of hope alive.Im not going to throw a party and watch it, receiver Jeremy Maclin said. Im going to watch it at home.The loss also knocked Philadelphia from the wild-card race and clinched a playoff berth for Detroit.Sanchez set an Eagles record with 37 completions in 50 attempts for a career-high 374 yards with two touchdowns to Riley Cooper, and tight end Zach Ertz set a franchise game record with 15 catches. But Sanchez lost a fumble for the third time this season and threw his 10th interception to put the Eagles NFL-leading turnover tally at 36.Robert Griffin III, back from his recent benching after a season-ending neck injury to Colt McCoy, went 16 for 23 for 220 yards with one interception for the Redskins to win in his first complete game in 13 months. Griffins only other win as a starter this season came when he was injured in the first quarter against Jacksonville in Week 2.First-year coach Jay Gruden, who has frequently been critical of Griffin, gave a glowing assessment, saying RG3 did an outstanding job of managing the football game.You would think a 3-11 football team would just quit, Griffin said. And were not.From the Eagles perspective, everything seemed to go wrong in pairs. Two wide-rights by rookie kicker Cody Parkey — doubling his number of misses this season — were converted into two 1-yard touchdown runs by Darrel Young.One of those Washington scoring drives included roughing-the-passer penalties by Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry in a span of four plays. The other drive featured a 55-yard over-the-shoulder grab by Jackson, the second 50-plus Griffin-to-Jackson connection in the game.I missed kicks and we lost the game, said Parkey, who has been battling a groin injury in his kicking leg. I dont think theres any words to really describe it. You let yourself down. You let your teammates down. The kicks had nothing to do with my groin.Curry also had a roughing-the-passer call on the Redskins winning drive. Earlier, a pass-interference call on Nate Allen in the end zone set up Youngs second scoring run. Philadelphia was flagged 13 times for 102 yards.Were beating ourselves with the penalties, defensive co-ordinator Bill Davis said. They stay on the field, and they get more shots on goal, and bad things happen in the NFL.The Eagles trailed 24-14 when Sanchez hit Cooper for a 16-yard score early in the fourth quarter, and Parkey kicked a 22-yard field goal with 6:17 to play.But, on their next possession — with the score tied and the season on the line — Sanchez made the games final mistake, the interception to rookie cornerback Bashaud Breeland at Washingtons 42.We wanted to spoil their Christmas and send them home, Griffin said, and we did our part.Notes: Jackson, cut by the Eagles after last season, caught four passes for 126 yards. ... Washington rookie LB Trent Murphy broke a bone in his right hand, and LT Trent Williams re-aggravated his sprained right shoulder.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL__Follow Joseph White on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JGWhiteAP Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey .

"I know I can play. Thats what I do. Thats what Im here for," Lagares said after driving in three runs with a homer and a single and robbing Washingtons Jayson Werth of a home run in New Yorks 5-2 win on Saturday. Lagares came in 5 for 27 in his past 11 games, but he provided a jolt for the struggling Mets. He singled in a run during a three-run first and homered with one on and one out in the third to give New York a 5-0 lead. Hes batting .304 for the season. "Well, hell play tomorrow," Mets manager Terry Collins said to laughter following the game. "He had a good game. Thats great. Thats why we put him in there today," Collins added. "Gios not easy to hit, but hes got a (better) chance to have some success against lefties than he has been against righties, so I let him in there." The Mets outfielder took a homer away from Werth with a leaping catch against the wall in centre. "Im not surprised by anything he does defensively, not a thing," said Collins, who also praised Lagares for his offensive work this week with assistant hitting coach Luis Natera. "I try to be positive, try to do my work in the cage and try to be ready for the opportunity," Lagares said. "Thats the key, be positive and keep working." Bartolo Colon (3-5) allowed two runs and five hits over eight innings as New York snapped a three-game losing streak and won for the first time in 10 tries against Washington. Rookie Eric Campbell drove in two runs and had his first two-hit game, and Daniel Murphy added two hits as well for New York. Colon, who turns 41 next week, came in 0-2 with an 8.31 ERA (17 runs in 17 1-3 innings) in three starts this month -- all on the road. On Saturday, he retired the last 11 hitters he faced. "He made big pitches, he pitched ahead," Collins said. "You know, you looked up and you saw he had 70 pitches, you kind of figured hes on his game." Jenrry Mejia pitched the ninth for his first career save. Ian ;Desmond had two hits, including a two-run homer, for Washington.dddddddddddd. Gio Gonzalez (3-4) took the loss, suffering his second straight poor start. Coming off a 9-1 loss at Oakland in which he allowed seven earned runs in five plus innings, he lasted just three innings Saturday. "Arm slot wasnt where I wanted it to be. Up in the strike zone the entire time, falling behind on everyone. You can see it just wasnt a good game at all," Gonzalez said after allowing five earned runs and seven hits. The Mets scored one more run in the first inning Saturday than they had in the previous 27 combined. With one out, Murphy lined a single to centre and David Wright followed with an infield hit between first base and the mound. After Chris Young walked, Campbell sent a single to centre to score Murphy and Wright. Lagares, in the starting lineup for the first time since Tuesday, blooped a single to right, scoring Young with the third run. It marked the 10th time this season that Washington had allowed three or more runs in the first inning. In the third, Campbell singled with one out and Lagares drove a 3-2 fastball into centre. Desmonds homer in the fourth pulled the Nationals within 5-2. Werths leaping catch at the wall with two outs in the ninth preserved Friday nights 5-2 Washington win. He was the victim on Saturday, however, when he appeared to pull the Nationals within 5-3 with a drive to centre to open the sixth, but Lagares raced to the wall, leaped and reached back to grab the drive. "I know he hit it good," Lagares said. "I just go like I always go, hard, and try to make the catch." NOTES: Craig Stammen pitched four innings of scoreless relief for the Nationals. ... Murphy has hit in nine straight (13 for 36) and in 34 of the 40 games hes played. ...
