Philadelphia Eagles Football: Winners and Losers from Eagles' Win vs. Redskins

After four straight weeks of padding the loss column, the Philadelphia Eagles were able to score a victory with a 20-13 win over their division rival Washington Redskins.

It's about time.

Needless to say, fans were growing incredibly tired of loss after loss for their beloved Eagles. Thankfully, those fans can smooth out some of those worry wrinkles now that their team came away from Week 6 with a W.

It wasn't a pretty win by any means, and there are still questions to be answered. But the Eagles can now head into their bye week with as much pride as a 2-4 team can possess.

Here is a look at the players who made the reassuring-yet-unsatisfactory win over the Redskins possible.

Winner: Kurt Coleman, DB

I am beginning to suspect that Kurt Coleman has split personalities.

After being benched in favor of safety Nate Allen due to a lackluster start to the season, Coleman turned in a stellar Week 6 with three interceptions against the Washington Redskins. He is the first player since Joe Scarpati in 1966 to perform this feat in a midnight green uniform.

This is the same player who, only a few weeks earlier, let New York Giant's receiver Victor Cruz go for a touchdown after an embarrassingly poor tackle attempt.

Whether it was a result of his benching or simply a case of him finally showcasing his abilities, Coleman was simply on fire this week.

It is clear that he has the talent. The only question that remains is whether or not he can maintain this high level of production.

Loser: Jason Babin, DE

After having seven in the first four games of the season, Jason Babin has been unable to post a sack the past two weeks.

This inconsistency is not what the Philadelphia Eagles had in mind when they signed Babin this past offseason. 

On a positive note, No. 93 was able to get three hits on Redskins quarterbacks, and his presence in the backfield led to costly interceptions for Washington.

The fans don't want near-sacks, though. They want real sacks. 

It is not coincidental that Babin's drop in production coincides with the Eagles' loss of stud defensive end Trent Cole. Perhaps the only thing Babin can do to help his stats is pray for Cole's speedy recovery.

Winner: LeSean McCoy, RB

The man they call "Shady" continues to prove why his teammates gave him the moniker.

After accounting for 139 total yards and one rushing touchdown, running back LeSean McCoy put the team on his back on the way to a victory over the Washington Redskins.

It seems head coach Andy Reid is finally starting to realize the talent he has in McCoy, as the third-year pro carried the ball a career-high 28 times.

With his shifty moves and soft hands, McCoy has done all he can to help Philadelphia fans forget about the great Brian Westbrook. 

Loser: Dion Lewis, RB

No. 28 gets the ball. He's got a lane. He's in: TOUCHDOWN!

Nope.

Running back Dion Lewis makes the list of Week 6 losers due to his inability to get into the end zone. 

Stopped just short of the goal line, the rookie would have posted his first NFL touchdown had he only fallen forward a few more inches.

It looks like Lewis will have to wait at least another two weeks to earn his first moment in the limelight.

Winner: Andy Reid, Head Coach

After finding himself on the hot seat the past few weeks, it comes as no surprise that head coach Andy Reid is the most relieved member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Not only was the big man able to coach his team to a victory, but he did so against a division rival.

That should keep fans quiet for at least one or two weeks. 

What remains to be seen is if Reid can turn this winning thing into a trend. His next challenge will come against the division rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. Fortunately, he has the bye week to prepare.

He may not be completely out of the frying pan, but at least he hasn't made his way into the fire.

Loser: Vince Young, QB

When your team asks you to come off the bench in relief of the starting quarterback, you typically want to go out there and put your best foot forward.

Apparently Vince Young didn't get that memo.

After Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was sidelined for two plays in the third quarter, Vince Young came in and completed a pass. To the other team.  

Rule No. 1 for success in the NFL: Don't throw interceptions.  

Rule No. 2: Wear a helmet.
