The challenge will always be to do it from the first whistle to the last, said Cousins, who was 18 of 34. But it was a good offensive showing because so many guys contributed and made a difference.Cousins rebounded when Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins intercepted him and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown, and Washington showed restraint and balance offensively without tight end Jordan Reed, who was out with a concussion . After starting the season 0-2, the Redskins have their best record through six games since 2008.Cousins connected with Jamison Crowder on a 16-yard touchdown and with Vernon Davis on a 13-yard touchdown. Jones ran for a 1-yard touchdown and sealed the victory with a 57-yard run on third down with 1:27 left as part of his 135-yard day.The Redskins defense made things difficult for rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, sacking him five times. Wentz was 11 of 22 for 179 yards, and the Eagles finished with 239 total yards.Ive got to be better, especially late in the game, Wentz said. Youve got to learn from it. Its all about how you react and respond to losses.Philadelphia got its points on an 86-yard kickoff return touchdown by Wendell Smallwood, Jenkins interception return and two field goals by Caleb Sturgis. The Eagles opened the season with three wins before losing two straight.JUMP SHOT CLANKSAfter his touchdown, Davis mimicked a jump shot and treated the football like a basketball. He was flagged for excessive celebration, setting Washington back 15 yards on the ensuing kiickoff.dddddddddddd.Redskins coach Jay Gruden showed players video of illegal celebrations, but that wasnt on the film.I dont think thats taunting. Youre just celebrating, right? Davis said. All I can do is correct it next time and not shoot.That had a major impact as Smallwood caught the ball at the 14 and returned it 86 yards for a touchdown to get the Eagles on the board.WAIT A SECONDThe Eagles ran four offensive plays from scrimmage in the second quarter, and one of them was Wentz kneeling with 6 seconds left. Because of Smallwoods kickoff return touchdown and Jenkins pick-six, they scored 14 points in the quarter.Philadelphia went into halftime with just 41 yards -- 29 rushing and 12 passing -- and three first downs.`BIG V BOWLED OVERWith Lane Johnson beginning a 10-game performance-enhancing drugs suspension , Halapoulivaati Vaitai started at right tackle and had an afternoon to forget. Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan beat Vaitai and sacked Wentz twice in the first half.He had a couple missed assignments early and felt like he settled into the game as the game wore on, coach Doug Pederson said. Hell learn from it and be ready for next week.FLAG TIMEThe Eagles committed 13 penalties for 114 yards, a week after they were called for 14 penalties for 111 yards in a loss to the Detroit Lions.Its tough to win in this league, as it is, and when you have that many penalties, its dang near impossible to win.QUOTABLEJenkins: You can look at every area today of our defense and I dont know if theres any area youd feel good about. The runs were really leaky. Tackling wasnt that great. Coverage wasnt that great. Pass rush. Everything. Weve got a lot to get done.Cousins on winning four in a row: You can never hit the panic button in this game. ... You just keep playing. If you hit the panic button in this business, you dont belong in this business.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---This story has been corrected to show that Redskins started season 0-2 instead of 0-3.
