The Redskins are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles tonight in the Monday Night Football season-opener. Robert Griffin III is about to take the field.

Michael Vick just threw a pass that was ruled a backwards pass. Ryan Kerrigan knocked it down and DeAngelo Hall brought it back for a TD. Replays showed that the pass actually appeared to go slightly forward, but there wasn’t enough evidence on replay to overturn the call.

Chip Kelly’s Eagles offense quickly moved down the field before the turnover.

It’s 7-3 Redskins in the first quarter.

In my latest article on Bleacher Report, I predict the Redskins will go 11-5 despite the fact that of the last 10 teams to go 10-6 one year after a losing season, only one of those teams went on to have a winning season after their 10-6 season.
