Washington Redskins come up with huge, game-saving sack to keep playoff hopes alive
Fox/NFL
The Washington Redskins are alive in the NFC playoff race, thanks to a big play from linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.
Trailing the Redskins 27-22, Carson Wentz and the Eagles were moving the ball down the field with ease, hoping to score the game-winning touchdown.
But on second-and-10, with 20 seconds left, Kerrigan sacked Wentz and stripped the ball. The Redskins recovered to win the game.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Wentz is sacked.
Wentz loses the football.

It was a huge moment for Washington. After two straight losses, a loss to the Eagles would have dropped Washington to 6-6-1 on the season, making them long-shots for the playoffs. Instead, at 7-5-1, the Redskins are only 1.5 games behind the Giants, who face the NFC-leading Cowboys Sunday night, and still in the thick of the Wild Card race with three games remaining.
Meanwhile, the loss dropped the Eagles to 5-8, eliminating them from the playoffs. The Eagles have lost six of their last seven games.
