Washington Redskins (1-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (2-0)

Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia – TV: FOX

*TV announcers: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Erin Andrews

*Keys to the game: There is no four-corners type of stall tactic coming from the Redskins, but seeing a pair of second-half comebacks already from the Eagles, who swept the 2013 games with Washington, ball control is vital for QB Kirk Cousins and Company. It would help Washington’s cause if WR DeSean Jackson recovers from a sprained shoulder and can run deep routes against his former teammates. The Redskins have struggled with pass protection, allowing 6.0 sacks in 79 dropbacks, but RB Alfred Morris is third in the NFL this season with 176 rushing yards.

The Eagles’ offense isn’t exactly flying. Still, the dynamic backfield combination of Darren Sproles as LeSean McCoy’s wing man has livened up coach Chip Kelly’s scheme while QB Nick Foles’ outside receivers work their way back from a largely idle training camp. Washington had 10 sacks last week, but barring a similar effort against one of the NFL’s most effective front fives, the Redskins will need a more conservative plan to contend with the speed and etch-a-sketch route combos coming this week.

*Matchup to watch – Eagles C Jason Kelce vs. Redskins ILB Perry Riley: Ready-set comes more rapidly in Philadelphia, where they’re running a play every 22.2 seconds. Riley is charged with getting his unit set and aligned twice as fast as usual.

*Player spotlight – Eagles LB Casey Matthews: He might get his first start since his rookie season in 2011 if Mychal Kendricks’ calf injury doesn’t allow him to play. Both Matthews and Emmanuel Acho took first-team reps midweek. The Redskins like to involve their tight ends, and backup Niles Paul has 14 receptions this season.

*Fast facts: The Eagles have outscored their first two opponents 58-10 in the second half. … Of Foles’ 48 completions, 31 are to tight ends and running backs.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY

Kirk Cousins can keep the Redskins in games and with Alfred Morris running well, the burden goes to Washington’s defense to stifle Philadelphia’s Swiss-army knife offense with shaky secondary personnel.

*Our pick: Eagles 33-23
