Washington Redskins (6-6)
- Washington fell to Philadelphia, 28-13, for their third straight loss since losing quarterback Alex Smith. Quarterback Colt McCoy then exited early in the second quarter after suffering a leg fracture, forcing backup Mark Sanchez to come into the game. Sanchez, signed 14 days prior, went 13 of 21 for 100 yards and an interception. Before leaving, McCoy was 4 of 4 for 50 yards.
- The offensive line suffered blows as well with left guard Jonathan Cooper exiting with a torn bicep and right guard Tony Bergstrom leaving with an ankle injury.

Beckham also threw a 49-yard touchdown to wide receiver Russell Shepard for his second touchdown throw on the year.
