they do not win tonight, kiss the play-off hopes good-bye. the team is really playing to finish this season strong. and like coach shanahan said all week long, players are going to be out on the field fighting for their jobs. >> coach told me never confuse effort with results. and this is a result business. and everybody's out there trying hard. everybody's going out there and it's up to us to do whatever it takes to win a football game. >> we've just got to make a conscious effort to decide over the next five weeks that we're going to get better. we've got to win. we've got to win right now. and let everything else, you know, take care of itself. we've just got to control what we can control. >> all right. you heard robert talking about being in control tonight. well, he's hoping to get some help from the return of tight end and rookie jordan reed who missed the game against the 49ers because of a concussion. he's back on the active roster tonight. hope to help that redskins

the scene right now. you can see behind me, this is the salvation army office. you see two marked police cars, and i just saw a pair of detectives walk out and head into the salvation army office. they're continuing their investigation tonight. the number that they're saying, $10,000. that's the estimated amount at a minimum that was taken from inside this building. i asked the spokesperson with the salvation army what could that buy, he said that could pay for electricity for a dozen families for a month. now missing. that distinct holiday sound, a reminder of giving. but whoever broke into this salvation army office this morning did a lot of taking. detectives just wrapped up searching for clues inside. we went in to tour the damage. glass broken through one door, a screwdriver used to break into another. it seems the thieves knew exactly where the money was. and this, well, this is the aftermath.

the road to regain respect runs through fedex tonight. >> both these teams actually got off to good starts and win this game to get back on track. they're both struggling right now. sunday night football, redskins and giants. two teams with high expectations going into the season. diana is live at fedex field for the game. what's it going to take for the redskins to snap this three-game losing streak tonight? >> the new york giants lead the nfl right now with the most turnovers at 30. eli manning has more interceptions than touchdowns. the last time he played this poorly was his rookie season in 2004. to answer your question, it's

going to be the redskins defense, if they can step it up, they can certainly help this team get a victory. and it could help this redskins offense. robert griffin iii is going to get some help. tight end jordan reed is back in the roster tonight. after missing last monday's game. no secret robert has struggled during the three-game losing streak. griffin has turned the ball over three times, sacked 14 over the last three losses. almost everyone is pointing the finger right now at the quarterback. the coach, mike shanahan knows, this isn't all griffin. this entire team is losing together. >> it's just not the quarterback. everybody struggles. when you lose you, you lose together. we know the scrutiny a quarterback goes through. it's part of the job. and there's a lot of responsibility with it. you've got to be tough. you've got to believe in yourself. and when tough times start, you've got to be tough enough to fight through it. and he's tough enough to fight through it. >> so if you're at home and

you're going to catch the game tonight, take a look at the first quarter. this is going to determine how the redskins team will perform. they have been outscored in the first quarter 88-30 this season. usually if they can get on the scoreboard first, the redskins always have a great chance of winning the game. keep an eye on that. jason, back to you. >> thanks, diana. see you later tonight on "redskins final." the eagles were trying to keep pace with the cowboys. dallas won on thanksgiving day, while philly is looking for back-to-back home wins. chip kelly said he's sticking with quarterback nick foles the rest of the season. and foles, well, he looked pretty smart today. here in the second quarter, finds reilly cooper. one-handed catch. this is just beautiful. 24-yard gain. just goes up and snags it right out of the air. eagles led by ten at halftime. later on in this game, third

quarter, foles already up with two touchdowns on the day. make it three. eagles up 24-7 now. here come the cardinals. fourth quarter, down ten. eagles apparently forgot about dre. cardinals down just three. arizona with the fourth and five. trying to keep this drive alive. this pass by palmer. incomplete to michael floyd. eagles hold on to win 24-21. philadelphia are tied atop the nfc east with dallas at 7-5. >> i think any game right now, you're playing meaningful games in december. one down, one to go, that's kind of our philosophy. we took care of business today. our only focus right now is getting ready for the lines, and that's it. you're not in a situation where there's any comfort in terms of lesthing like that. so it's just focusing on the next opponent. we'll get back to work on tuesday and get ready for

detroit coming in. bears looking to stay alive in the nfc north rails. visiting the vikings. chicago on top 13-10. josh, going to air one out deep to jeffrey. and watch this grab. manages to get both feet inbounds. jeffrey breaks his own single receiving record with 249 yards. vikings tied at 20. we're in overtime. blair washingtolsh with the fie. a face mask penalty negates the field goal. walsh missed the second attempt. vikings have new life, adrian peterson. he went over 10,000 rushing yards in his career today. he had 211 in the game. that gave walsh a second chance from 34 yards out. that is right down the pipes. vikings, they go on to win this one 23-20 in overtime. good football around the nfl.

big game tonight. redskins and giants right here on nbc 4. i wouldn't give a prediction, but i don't want to be blamed for jinxing the redskins. >> i have a feeling tonight. weather tonight? >> the weather tonight, you saw diana down there bundled up. maybe you're running a little bit behind headings down there, i think you're fine with a couple of layers. 40 and light winds for the game. >> watch it right here on nbc 4. stay nice and warm.
