--The Redskins converted 11 of 19 third-down opportunities against the Eagles' defense last week. In the Eagles' three losses, their opponents have converted 24 of 46 third-down chances (52.2 percent). In their two wins, two of 23 (8.7 percent). The Eagles didn't blitz a lot on third down because the Redskins' run success on first and second down kept them out of obvious passing situations. "It's a lot harder to blitz when it's third-and-three, third-and-four, third-and-five," defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said.

--Quarterback Donovan McNabb called a team meeting Monday, a day after the Eagles suffered their second straight loss and fell to 2-3. Asked why he called the meeting, McNabb said, "We've lost two games back-to-back that we shouldn't have lost. The Dallas game (a 41-37 loss in Week 2), I felt like we shouldn't have lost that game either. I just tried to let everybody know that it's easy for us to sit and say we could be undefeated right now or we should be 4-1. But we're not. In order for us to correct that and put these four or five games behind us, we have to do it right now. Guys have to dig deep and challenge themselves."

BY THE NUMBERS: 21 - The number of points the Eagles have scored in the second half in their past four games.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "We've moved on from that game. We came in Monday and we hammered those things out. If you let linger what happened last week, then there's going to be a problem." - Eagles coach Andy Reid on putting Sunday's 23-17 loss to Washington behind them.
