A 64-yard interception return touchdown by Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins has tied the Eagles-Redskins game at 14.

The Eagles have been awful offensively but have consecutive touchdowns thanks to Jenkins and an 86-yard kickoff return touchdown by rookie running back Wendell Smallwood.

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins hit Vernon Davis from 13 yards out for his team’s second score. The first was a 16-yarder to Jamison Crowder late in the first quarter.

Cousins caught two Eagles defenders looking outside when Davis cut inside on the second touchdown pass. Davis is playing because Jordan Reed is out with a concussion.

More than 25 minutes into the game, the Eagles have 42 total yards and just three first downs.
