In Sam Hudson's first ever playoff game in the NFL and the Redskins' first playoff game since 2015, Washington look to get revenge on the Eagles from earlier in the season and advance past the Wild Card round.
On the very first play from scrimmage after a turnover forced by the defense, Hudson took it to the house on a 33-yard rush. After getting pinned on the 3-yard line on the next drive, Hudson led the Redskins down the field and ended up scoring on an explosive 65-yard rush. However, the Eagles were able to score on their next drive, bringing the score within 7. On the first play of the second quarter, Hudson walked in for a 1-yard score, making it his first game with three touchdowns or more, completing the feat in just the first half. The Eagles scored a field goal, but the Redskins canceled it out by scoring a field goal of their own.
Hudson continued to have a break out day in the second half after driving down the field and scoring an 8-yard touchdown. Unfortunately, after two straight 3-and-outs, the Eagles scored a touchdown, bringing the game within two possessions. After the touchdown, the Redskins scored a field goal after chewing the clock out. The Redskins were able to move on to the Divisional round for the first time since 2005. The Redskins head to Atlanta to face the Falcons in the Divisional round.
