Kirk Cousins carried the Washington Redskins to the playoffs last season with a magnificent four-game run to conclude the regular season.The Washington quarterback just might need to equal last seasons torrid stretch for the Redskins to make another postseason appearance this year.Washington (6-5-1) is on the outside of the playoff picture with four games remaining and aims to record a much-needed victory when it visits the reeling Philadelphia Eagles (5-7) on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, FOX).The Redskins lost their last two games and are in third place in the NFC East and trail the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a half-game for the final wild-card spot. The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers sit a half-game back of Washington so there is little margin for error.But the Redskins only to need to reminisce about last seasons strong finish when Cousins passed for 12 touchdowns against one interception during the final four games to know another late-season sprint is possible.However, Cousins cautions that there are no guarantees.I dont like to believe that, Well, we did this, so Im confident that its going to work out. I really feel you have to go back and earn it from the jump all over again, Cousins said on a conference call. We were able to finish the season strong last year. It can be done again, but by no means do I feel any type of calm or comfort drawing on last years finish.I think we have to do it all over again, and last year really has no bearing on whether or not we deliver this year.The late-season heroics assured that Cousins would continue as Washingtons starting quarterback and he has enjoyed a strong statistical campaign.The 28-year-old Cousins ranks third in the NFL with 3,811 passing yards and has 21 touchdowns against eight interceptions. He has thrown for 300 or more yards on six occasions, including efforts of 458 (a career high) and 449.Cousins is 3-1 in his career against the Eagles, throwing for 1,345 yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions.I think every game is its own entity and I dont know that the sample size is large enough really to say theres a correlation, Cousins said of his success against Philadelphia. I just think that each game you see what can happen and you never know.The Eagles are on the fringe of the playoff conversation despite three consecutive defeats by a cumulative 85-42. Philadelphias stellar 3-0 start is nothing but a distant memory after seven losses in the past nine games.Last Sundays 32-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals led first-year coach Doug Pederson to question the effort of some players and that ruffled some feelings in the locker room.Players like safety Malcolm Jenkins and linebacker Nigel Bradham shot down that rhetoric. Tight end Brent Celek did as well but he indicated that a higher work ethic is necessary.I think guys are giving effort, but I think that we can take it to another level, Celek said. Theres levels to that. You can go hard every single play. I think thats what hes trying to say is -- listen, we can do better.Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz was the talk of the NFL when he led the Eagles to a 3-0 start, but he tossed a season-worst three interceptions against the Bengals and has been picked off eight times in the past five games.Wentz has passed for 2,901 yards and 12 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. He completed a season-low 50 percent of his passes (11 of 22) and threw for just 179 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Redskins on Oct. 16.You have to stay optimistic, Wentz said. I know, obviously, the results are tough as of late, were kind of on a skid, but like Ive been saying, this is a good group of guys, a good locker room. Guys are in it until the end.The Eagles hope to have running back Ryan Mathews (knee) back after a two-game absence. Leading receiver Jordan Matthews (57 catches, 686 yards) might also play after an ankle injury held him out of the loss to the Bengals.Washington is monitoring the health of tight end Jordan Reed (shoulder), who missed last Sundays 31-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Reed returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday.The Redskins also will have standout left tackle Trent Williams back in the trenches after he served a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy.It was a lot of anxiety, it was really tough, Williams told reporters. One of the hardest things for me was watching the games on TV and feeling helpless.One subplot involves Washington receiver DeSean Jackson (39 receptions, 644 yards), who spent his first six seasons with the Eagles before being released by former Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly following the 2013 campaign.Jackson is slated to become a free agent after this season and there is heavy speculation that he craves a return to the Eagles.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Don Mattingly isnt in immediate danger of being fired as manager of the last-place Los Angeles Dodgers, with team president Stan Kasten saying none of the players are asking for his dismissal, either. "I do expect things to turn around. I expect Donnie to be here for a long time," Kasten said Friday before the Dodgers lost 7-0 to NL Central-leading St. Louis in the series opener. "I understand there is another side of that if things dont go well. I dont think of things like that. I dont look at things that way. I choose to believe were going to be fine." Mattingly is in the third and final year of his contract, with no extension on the table. "This is not a guy who the players are trying to get rid of. These players are not coming to the front office and saying, Please get this guy out of here," Kasten said. "Its the opposite. This is a group of guys who love and respect Don. And I think this latest plea for a greater sense of urgency will be well received. I hope it is. It should be." For his part, Mattingly didnt appear worried about his future. "If your team doesnt play well, someone is going to go and it isnt going to be them," he said. "Its all about how we play. Thats the only thing I really stress over." The Dodgers are last in the NL West, seven games behind first-place Arizona. They have a 19-27 record, having lost five of their last seven, despite a $215 million payroll and a talent-laden lineup that has struggled offensively. "By far were not out of it," Andre Ethier said. "If we can work our way back into it by the All-Star break, it should be someplace we want to be." Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez have started to come around. Crawford is hitting .302 with five homers and 13 RBI, and Gonzalez is batting .319 with four homers and 29 RBI. But All-Star sluggers Matt Kemp and Ethier have not. They combined to go hitless in six at-bats Friday, with Kemp striking out twice. "Its really nott the way you envision coming back home and getting the home stand started," Mattingly said about the loss.dddddddddddd Kemp is hitting .266 with two home runs and 17 RBI, while Ethier is hitting .258, with four homers and 15 RBI. The team has been hit with a rash of injuries since the start of the season, especially among the starting rotation. "I expect the players who have been struggling to get back to their historical records of performance," Kasten said. "If that happens, I think were going to be just fine. We wont be as good as we can be until Matt returns to being the real Matt Kemp." Mattingly on Friday didnt back away from his critical comments earlier in the week that came after he benched Ethier for the third time in six games during the teams trip to Atlanta and Milwaukee. At the time, he said he was "putting out my lineup that I feel is going to be the most competitive and going to compete the hardest." "Really Im just speaking from my heart. It wasnt an attack on anybody," Mattingly said. "Its my belief about the way to play baseball. Youve got to be willing to fight for what you want." Earlier in the week, Ethier said he took offence to Mattinglys comments. The manager said he and Ethier talked for 20 minutes on Wednesday. "Andre knows exactly where Im coming from," he said. Ethier was back in the lineup on Friday, but Mattinglys "words about the competing part, that bothers me. Thats all people hear, they dont read about the other stuff," he said. Asked if thought he would be traded, Ethier said, "I have no idea. Its nothing Im assuming or looking into. I know what commitment level is here and its never wavered." Mattingly has long defended his players in the mould of his mentor and former Dodgers manager Joe Torre, so his sudden public outspokenness had triggerd rampant speculation that he was on his way out. "It hasnt been that bad, honestly," he said. "Its just a little stormy."
