ASHBURN, Va. -- Last year, the NFC East was a debacle, with the division-winning Washington Redskins taking the lone playoff spot at 9-7.This year, it is been the best division in football so far.Every team has at least two wins, and the Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are a combined 10-4.The first real division showdown of the season comes Sunday at FedEx Field where the Eagles (3-1) face the Redskins (3-2). The winner would find itself in first place or tied for first if Dallas (4-1) loses on the road to the Green Bay Packers.Last year, Washington swept Philadelphia, clinching the NFC East in the next-to-last week on the road at Lincoln Financial Field. However, the Redskins will see a far more cohesive Eagles team this time around, with rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and new coach Doug Pederson leading Philadelphia.The Redskins ideal scenario on defense would be bringing pressure from all over to force Wentz into youthful mistakes. However, is proving to be a good athlete capable of making plays on the move. Wentz has completed 67.4 percent of his passes.Washington, meanwhile, has struggled to generate consistent pressure through its first five games. Even so, the Redskins cant treat Wentz like an average rookie. He is making opponents who do so pay for it, and he has thrown just one interception in 135 pass attempts. He has seven touchdown passes.When teams blitz, it takes everybody, Wentz said. It takes the O-line picking up guys, getting their jobs done and then receivers winning. It takes receivers, tight ends, running backs. It takes them winning and getting open early. I think weve done a really good job of that. Were all playing on the same page, playing fast.Wentz will be without left tackle Lane Johnson, who had a 10-game suspension by the NFL upheld this week. He begins serving it and wont play. That leaves Wentzs blindside in the hands of a fellow rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who played college football at Texas Christian.The Redskins likely will try to take advantage of Vaitai. They have rotated pass rushers Ryan Kerrigan, Preston Smith and Trent Murphy at outside linebacker all season, and so far Murphy has produced the most.Murphy, who gained 30 pounds at the teams request to move to defensive end, had to move back to outside linebacker in training camp after a season-ending injury to pass-rush specialist Junior Galette. Murphy has been dynamite with a team-best 4.5 sacks in his third season. He only had six total in his first two years in the NFL.Kerrigan has 2.5 sacks and is dealing with groin and elbow injuries. Smith has been a disappointment after an eight-sack rookie season. He has yet to record one sack in 2016.Better tackling helped fuel Washingtons win against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday. That had better continue against an Eagles team that has players such as running back Darren Sproles who can punish teams for missing.Compared to the Cleveland game, I thought it was a major improvement, thats for sure, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said of his linebackers and safeties bringing Ravens players to the ground quickly and consistently. I think they took it all upon themselves to make sure they were more sound in their fundamentals as far as tackling is concerned. I got tired of hearing about it.Washington could be without star tight end Jordan Reed, who has a suspected concussion. That would be a major loss. Reed had two touchdowns in the division-clinching win Dec. 26 in Philadelphia.The Redskins need to get the ball to wide receiver DeSean Jackson, either way. He had just four catches the past two weeks. It doesnt hurt that Jackson often torches for former team. In three games against the Eagles since leaving Philadelphia after the 2013 season, Jackson has 13 catches for 283 yards and a touchdown. However, the animosity he held for former Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly, who cut him unceremoniously, is gone now.Doug Pederson is actually a good friend of mine, Jackson said. We got a good relationship when he was in Philly coaching, so I dont have no bad taste in my mouth versus him. Well just play, and hopefully well get this win.

World No. 3 Rory McIlroy has survived a three-man sudden death playoff to secure the US PGA Tour Championship and with it the season-long FedEx Cup and a $US11.53 million ($A15.15 million) payday.McIlroy outlasted Americans Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell for the Tour Championship title, taking the US$US10million ($A13 million) bonus out of the hands of world No.2 Dustin Johnson in the process.Johnson gave up his grip on both with an implosion on Sunday.The playoff lasted four holes before McIlroy made birdie on the par-4 16th hole to win it all.Earlier McIlroy and Moore both fired impressive six-under-64s on Sunday to get to 12 under for the championship.Chappell managed a 66 to join them.Both Moore and Chappell had birdie putts on the 18th hole in regulation to win the tournament but couldnt make them fall, Moores from just seven-feet lipped out.McIlroy had a six-foot eagle try on the first attempt down the 18th in sudden death but also lipped out the putt.Moore matched his birdie while Chappell was eliminated with a par.Both McIlroy and Moore made pars on the second attempt down 18, sending them back to the 15th, a tough par-3 over water where they matched pars once more.Moore made a clutch 17-foot par save on the fourthh playoff hole to force the issue, but McIlroy buried his birdie putt from 14-feet to win it all.dddddddddddd Johnson, who took the overnight lead into Sunday, finished with a 73 to drop back to five under and a tie for sixth.Australias only hope Adam Scott fired a 65 to finish at four under, tied eighth.It was nice to finish birdie, eagle. I played such a great round today and kind of left everything out there.But it all came in a hurry at the last two holes. Its a nice way to finish the year, Scott said.Unfortunately, I wasnt up there contending this week. Thats disappointing because I started in such great position in the FedEx, but lots of positives to take from this year, and lots of good ideas to work on the next year. Hopefully, a little rest before some more golf the rest of this year.Paul Casey (64) finished fourth at nine under.McIlroy now has four wins in FedEx Cup playoff events in his career, the most of any player in FedEx Cup Playoffs history.He has now won multiple World Golf Championships events, multiple Major Championships, four Playoff events and the FedExCup in his career.
