Redskins...10 Eagles...3

Jim Zorn sure didn’t look like the worst coach in America. Instead, he’s the coach who got his Washington Redskins turned around a week too late -- with a stop at the one-yard line on the game’s final play.

As Reggie Brown caught the ball near the goal line, cornerback Fred Smoot lifted him into the air, and safety LaRon Landry supplied the shove that kept the Eagles receiver out of the end zone. With no timeouts remaining, the Eagles couldn’t stop the clock as the last seconds ticked away on the Redskins’ 10-3 victory.

Washington stymied an Eagles team that was averaging close to 33 points during a three-game winning streak, and Clinton Portis scored his first touchdown in eight weeks in a win that offered the Redskins a consolation prize on the day they were eliminated from the postseason.

The Redskins (8-7) had lost three in a row, prompting Zorn last week to say he felt “like the worst coach in America.”

The Eagles fell to 8-6-1.

Quoteworthy: “I can say I don’t feel like the worst coach in America today.” -- Jim Zorn, Redskins coach
