It's the battle of the NFC East's bottom teams for this matchup.Both teams showed a lot of promise at the beginning with Robert Griffin III leading the Redskins to a 2-2 record and Michael Vick leading the the Eagles to 3-1 record.However, a lot has changed since then as both teams currently stand at 3-6 and barely clinging to any hopes of making it to the playoffs.Come Sunday one of these teams will leave victorious and back in the hunt, while the other leaves virtually eliminated from playoff contention.No. 1: Robert Griffin has a career day of over 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing, putting him back in the Rookie of the Year conversation. Robert Griffin III is coming off two disappointing performances heading into the bye week. In both games he failed to throw over 250 yards and complete 60 percent of his passes as the Redskins went into the bye losing three straight. Going against a sputtering Eagles defense this week, RG3 has a great opportunity to have a bounce b...

Robert Griffin III is a rookie.
A good one at that.
