this is the xfinity sports desk. >> conference games matter or not. we have another coming and a couple of guys coming back. >> you don't want to lose three straight games to the redskins. they are going for their fifth this weekend. the winning streak has a better chance of if jordan reed can go sunday. the defense is struggling. it is up to the offense the last four weeks to put points on the board. reed did practice in limited fashion for a second day in a row. the good news, he was out there catching passes. the bad news, the injured left shoulder is still bothering the tight end. reed didn't play last against

shoulder against the cowboys on thanksgiving. he did come back to score two touchdowns in the game after spraining the shoulder. it appears he's willing to play through the pain sunday versus the eagles. >> i don't know what percentage. i'm good. >> good to go for sunday? >> from an individual standpoint he has to feel good about it. we can't predict it or guess how he feels come game time or saturday afternoon. ultimately it will be his call. >> it's definitely worries a things like that. like i said before, i leave it in god's hands, go out and do my job. >> meanwhile, the redskins having issues on the other side of the ball. they ranked 23rd in total defense and are dead last in the league in getting off the field on the all important third down. in the last game the cardinals converted on third and six or longer. a whopping eight times for the season opponents are converting 38% on third down opportunities. players we heard from today say

>> any defense, third down is called the money down. make the plays and get off the field. >> it can help in some ways but ultimately it comes down to executing us up front. guys covering the back. >> every third down whether the first third down of the game or the last. those are crucial: you know you have to win the match-up. >> big games this weekend on the high school level. maryland state finals, damascus looking to defend the 3-a title tonight. the hornets taking on franklin high school. it's annapolis. they are undefeated. 13-0 on the season. they are a power house going for the ninth state football championship. moving on to the nba now. the wizards are back on the court tonight against the nuggets. it could be interesting to see

john wall following a career game against orlando wall wasn't happy. he was electric in the game though. 52 points scored. he dished out eight assists. it wasn't enough to avoid a loss. afterward wall had tough words for the team and questioned whether other guys were playing hard enough. the wizards are 7-13 on the season. just a half game out of last place in the division. if they don't gete they see the cavaliers in february when they come to town. lebron james and irving were bored so they were entertaining themselves. they took part in the water bottle flip challenge. they combined for 53 points in this game but they were 0-for on the water bottle flip challenge sticking the landing there. >> is that a technical? >> no. not a technical, but it is

that much they had time for that. >> that's so cold, man. >> i tried to watch the game. after 15 minutes it was like, you know, there's something way better on. >> it was a scrimmage. >> i have to say the shirt jordan reed had on in the locker room, i have the exact same shirt. it looks so much better on him. >> did you notice? >> i didn't notice what he was wearing. >> did you take note of >> no. >> each one of them saw exactly what i'm talking about. >> what color was it? >> i'm color blind. blue, i think. >> that's right. i'm sorry. >> it's a nice color but it looks better on him. >> fashion commentary. >> such as it is. how cold am i going to get tonight? >> is that shirt long sleeved? >> yes. >> there you go. you need it. 39 degrees on friday.

c'mon in, pop pop! happy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin. no more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance it worked better than plavix. >>don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take.
