and it is becoming kind of a theme with the redskins. fox 5 sports director dave feldman is here with the highlights. a close one again. >>> again for the last five weeks the skins' fate has been decided will on the final play. that is some drama that might not be needed. the fans don't want it. the fans like excitement but don't really want it. the coaches definitely don't want it. donovan mcnabb and the skins looking for their second win in a row. fourth quarter since down. and he unleashes that arm. looking for anthony armstrong who is there 48 yards away. the first career touchdown. the skins within three. armstrong three catches, 84 yards, one td. they would tie it with a field goal. we head to overtime. packers second possession aaron rogers looking for greg jennings and landry is on the other team. he forced a fumble in the first. comes up huge in ot with the pick. so with a chance to win it from 33 yards out. and he is good right down the middle. redskins win it 16-13. mike shanahan, what do you have? >> unless you have a lot of

paul it out. >> the redskins find a way to win. the angelos single-handedly win. the angelos single-handedly solve this one. woman 1 sync: i knew what bob ehrlich did as governor. man 1 sync: raised my property taxes 60 percent. woman 2 sync: let utilities hike our rates 72 percent. woman 1 sync: but i didn't know what he's done since he got fired as governor. man 2: ehrlich's raked in millions. man 3: he worked for a wall street bank that took 10 billion dollars from the bailout. woman 3: 10 billion of our money. woman 4: our money. woman 5 sync: and he worked for another bank that collapsed. man 4: costing tax payers 17 million. anncr: tell bob ehrlich big banks don't need help. middle class marylanders do. led. 76 injured. this wasn't a terrorist attack it was death by metro, death by mismanagement. i called for an immediate audit, the results were chilling. so i insisted metro actually follow national safety standards for the first time. the brass at metro wasn't happy, but frankly i don't care. i'm not the senator for metro, i

redskins two in a row. we remember back in week one the cowboys had a touchdown in the last play of the game that was called back and in week two they lost in over time to the texans. it's unbelievable of the i don't think i can recall out of five weeks of an nfl season where four have been decided on the last game. i don't know who is going to win yet, steve. i know this: it's going to be close. that's the way it will be. >> tricky question i hope the redskins can pull this out, but with how close the games have been and what's had to happen for a couple of these wins, are the redskins that good of a team to beat these good team or are they getting a few breaks? >> i think it's the way the nfl is built. everybody seems to be three and two, two and three and the redskins are proven they hang in there. last year's team probably would not have hung in these games. this year's team does. the guy coming at fedex field is peyton manning. we all know he is a ten time pro-bowler, he was in the super bowl last year

not me against the redskins. it's the eagles against the redskins. and that's how you got to approach it. you can't get caught up in everything that's going on because, you know, we have no personal vendetta against each other. this is a divisional game and it's going to be rough and tough, and i'm pretty sure they're feeling the same way. >> vic still has the wheels but he's doing it through the air. a big reason for his success the guys that he's throwing to, namely wide receivers jackson and mclin. jackson is third in receiving yard, maclin third for receiving touchdowns. the defense had have their hands full. >> they give you so many things, maclin is great, a route runner, he'll run the route, but they don't want physical contact that's one of the key things. >> that deep threat every time they touch the ball and line up. we have to make sure we're on top of our game and hopefully we keep them under wraps. >> maryland's opens up acc play tomorrow night against duke and the big question entering the game who starts at quarterback? robinson starte

ask him what he thinks abouthe redskins and the eagles. >> he is a redskin fan. >> reporter: what is the score going to be? >> what is the score of the game going to be, matt. he s we're going to lose. the redskins aregoing to lose. >> reporter: what kind of fan is that? and out on seventh street, passersby were anxious for the game. >> i would have to say redskins because michael vick is too inconsistent. mcnabb is going to have a chip on his shoulder. >> reporter: what do you think? >> michael vick is what i think. yeah, i'm going with that. but i got faith in my skins. it's just a normal day. >> reporter: and will mcnabb be booed in philly? >> oh, yeah, he'll be booed off the field in a second. >> hoping for a win, but fearing a loss. wendy and jim, back to you. that fan didn't know what he wa talking about. >> of all the men in the studio, everyone went inconsistent. >> has he been watching? >> let's hope he is not consistent on sunday. >> there you go. >> dan helli what yougot? >> hey, wendy and jim you can't get enough of this. we will actually hear from donovan coming up in sp

the redskins get a lucky the bate break. mason crosby with the feel goal attempt nailed a huge break. we know hear that fm the press box. in the end it would be the dskins inovertime who would find a way to turn a greaty performance into what they hoped would be the game winning field goal. graham gano. the redskins get the win. they're now 3-2. they'll take a win anyway they can get it. but shanahan said he woul love them to make it a little easier on themselves. >> i think the perfect send you are ao, we would like to-the perfect send your over, we would lake to dominate. that doesn't always work out but that's the plan. timately, you have to plan a way to win. at the end of the derrek you have to say when did i do well or what did we need to improve on? we need to improve on a lot different areas but it is always nice to need to improve a still win. >> mike shanahan happy with the 3-2 news. coming up, we have injury news on the left tackle. >>> still ahead, a driver learn what come up doesn't always come all the way back

so you're a big redskins fan, right? >> no, i'm not a redsks fan. >> reporter: downtown friday, where skins memorabilia dots the wall, this fan was all philly. >> can't the redskins have some hope? >> they can have some hope. y'all do have a good offense. y'all need to work on your defense. >> reporter: a few seats down, a customer was talking to his friend on a celphone. ask him what he thinks aut the redskins and the eagles. >> a redskin fan. >> reporter: what is the score going tbe? >> what is the score of the game going to be, matt? he say we're going lose. the reds are going to lose. >> reporter: what kind of fan is that? and out on seventh street, passe passersby were anxious for game. >> i'd have to say redskins because michael vick is o inconsistent. >> reporter: ooh. >> but again it depends if mcnabb is going to have a chip on his shoulder. >> reporter: what do you think? >> michael vick is what i think. yeah, i'm going with that. but i go faith in my skins. >> it's just a normaday. > reporter: and the big quest

it was redskins football. eight plays later. graham gano from 33 out to win it 16-13 washington. >> it was great for the team. i can't say how proud i am of the guys. >> unless you have a lot of character you don't win games like that. >> the eagles also won behind some solid play from kevin kolb but there is something of an after-thought. the attention is on the phillies who mowed through the reds. they held the reds to 11 hits in they games and i find it suspect that our producer would make me a cincinnati reds fan read that script. >> i think something is going on there. >> not happy about it. >> 5:26. 62 degrees. the news continues. you are still shaking your head. we continue at 5:30. >> the next half hour an nfl legend at the center of a sex scandal. this morning this alleged phone message from brett favre to a jets sideline reporter. >> hollywood comes to the nation's capital. how this could affect your commute. details are coming up. >> feels more like june this afternoon than october. we will talk forecast and the big c

win for the redskins. then last week, overtime and redskins win again on the last play of the game. four ofthee last five games. it shows character when you can pull games out like that. this is not by chance. mike shanahan would agree with me. >> we have a different mentality. i hope it is different from the year before. we had guys on the team when you get in the tough situations, they gave in. >> i'm proud of them. it starts with your players. we have a lot of great characters. we have people working hard. they have given themselves a chance to have success. it doesn't surprise me. >> shanahan trying to bring new people in and shaking things up. the mental aspect of that is starting to pay off. >> they are buying in. they are all in. that is a good thing. you listen to santana moss' words from last year. it is interesting to hear players say that. santana moss has been around here. his words resonate. it is very encouraging when you you hear santana moss say that. it is not the way it used to be. things have changed. >> quickly. somebody who has been around for a long time and ne

ileal start with governor every lick. >> the owner of the redskins is a redskins fan and contributor. we will have those discussions. havi two franchises in maryland is fantastic. there's issues with regard to the stadium as we know traffic is a mess. it's an all-day affair. and redskins fans are the best in the country. we know that. so that would have to be a function of discussions with mr. snyder and with the relative players in prince georges county and the players in annapolis, as well. obviously we love having two franchises located in maryland, it helps redskin and rfk was a fantastic environment for professional football. i have been to a number of games there but there is no clear answer to this. we will see where the franchise wants to go, where the owner wants to go and what the taxpayers have to say about it as well. >> i don't know the answer to that question but we'd like to keep the redskins playing in prince georges county. >> the first time we asked that question. >> now we will switch gears once again. governor o'malley, is there anything, what would you say is the

dc has donovan with the leadership skills that can finally push the redskins over the top. advantage, this one is a push. if i were making a superbowl run this year, i would want mcnabb. but the up side on vick appears to be limited. there you have it, in the final analysis philly may be a bigger city, but in this tale of a tape and in this weekend's showdown, it's advantage dc. because as those guys are about to find out, one town's trash is another town's treasure. >> so what do you think? do they boo them or they cheer them when he comes into phillies stadium? >> i would say there will be a lot of cheers. >> hopefully more cheers. classy. >> i think they'll cheer for him because they'll remember all of the great things he's done and
