Turnover touchdowns spur the Redskins

THREE touchdowns off six turnovers sparked Washington past Philadelphia 31-20 on Sunday, launching the Redskins into the NFL play-offs for the first time in six seasons.

Clinton Portis ran 27 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns, including a 22-yard score that put the Redskins ahead with 12:19 remaining, and the their fifth victory in-a-row to eliminate the Dallas Cowboys.

“Going 6-10 last year to 10-6 and being a play-off contender this year, nobody would have expected us to be a contender this soon,” said Portis. “We came together at 5-6 and nobody has been able to beat us since.”
