Washington had trouble scoring on opening drives last season. It had no problem in the season opener against the Eagles, going 80 yards in seven plays and 4:06.
Vernon Davis had the play of the day so far, catching a pass from Case Keenum, hurdling Ronald Darby and then splitting two defenders.
He went for a 48-yard score.
Davis’ touchdown, the 63rd of his career, moved him past Shannon Sharpe on the all-time list for tight ends.
Washington has dominated Philadelphia thus far, gaining 147 yards to the Eagles’ 19. Keenum is 8-for-9 for 136 yards and a touchdown, and Washington has a 10-0 lead.
Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson earned an unnecessary roughness penalty for fighting Quinton Dunbar.
