Philadelphia and Washington are locked in a game that has no major ramifications beyond the 2012 NFL Draft order, and yet they continue to play this game as if it matters. Isn't the NFL just grand?
This Roy Helu 47-yard touchdown catch-and-run counts as a highlight, sort of, and made the score 10-7 in the Eagles' favor in the third quarter of that game.
Helu is now Washington's leading receiver on the day, edging out Evan Royster and Darrel Young, and Rex Grossman has 199 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the game.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, is very much reliant on the pass without LeSean McCoy. Of the Eagles' 16 first downs so far in this one, 13 have come by way of the pass.

It's one of the few NFL games of Week 17 that doesn't have any ramifications for the 2011 NFL playoffs, and the Eagles and Redskins are playing down to that standard. Philadelphia leads, 10-0, at the half.
Michael Vick has thrown for 151 yards and a touchdown in the game to give the Eagles their lead, but Philly's running game has been little better than nonexistent, accruing a whopping 12 yards. And Vick's taken two sacks for 20 yards, leaving Philly with fewer yards of total offense than Vick has passing yards.
As for the Redskins, Rex Grossman has 148 passing yards and an interception, so he's definitely still Rex Grossman. But Evan Royster's 66 yards on the ground have been a nice surprise.

Eagles speedster LeSean McCoy had a chance to win the 2011 NFL rushing title in Week 17; instead, McCoy is inactive for Philadelphia's last game of the 2011 NFL season against the Washington Redskins. The Eagles are likely trying to protect a player who was one of their most productive options in 2011 after he turned his ankle in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
McCoy sits at 1,309 rushing yards after Week 16, and is in second in the NFL in that category, 128 yards behind Maurice Jones-Drew. McCoy's chances of making up that ground were slim to begin with, but being deactivated obviously decreases them to none.
The Eagles were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16, when the New York Giants won to make the the NFC East a two-team race. Ronnie Brown will replace McCoy in the Eagles' starting lineup.
