Win over the eagles. Its good to have rg3 back. He did have kind of like a bionic leg. Wasnt his old self running all over the place. But they didnt have to do much. This team is kind of met morph sizing in front of our eyes. I like that word. Another word we could throw out is maybe destiny, this team now a team of destiny, have not lost a game for seven weeks and today it came full circle because this crazy run of games began against the eagles five wins ago, never would have thought that win would kick off. This lets take a look at the highlights, the skins happy to have rg3 back on the field with that knee braced up. The final play of the 1st quarter skins down 70, nick foles industrialed by ryan kerrigan. Richard crawford johnny on the spot scoops it up, one of two turnovers on the day, a season high five sacks in this game. Led to the first of two kai forbath field goals. 2nd quarter skins find the end zone for the first time, griffin to josh morgan from 11 out, burgundy gold 137, up 13 10 at the break. In the 2nd half its Alfred Morris chipping away at that franchise season rushing record, 22 rushes, 91yard, just 104 yards shy of that record. Skins up 2010. Late 3rd a perfect pass from rg3 to santana moss from 22 yards out with another look. Look at that, keeps one foot down, drags the other. Thats a touchdown, but the two touchdown lead was trimmed to one, eight seconds left, eagles with a chance to time. Nick foles gets the pass away, but it doesnt get past the line of scrimmage. The eagles swept for the First Time Since 2008 skins win 2720 to make it six wins in a row. Playing the best ball that we have all year at the right time. Were rolling and we all that know. Its been change in our mindset since after the bye week. I think everybody is just dialed in now. We know that we can win any kind of game we have to whether its a high scoring game or low scoring game or gut wrencher at the end. Weve been working for this opportunity to win the division. Time in you win the Division Everybody knows you have a home field gain in the playoffs. We talked about that from day one. They knew what we had to do to get there. I told them we havent accomplish anything yet. Weve got to win the division, get it done next week. Six straight wins, their longest regular season winning streak since 1996. Next week its the cowboys, winner clinches the division title. They need the bears and vikings to lose if they dont win, but a surefire way, just win next week here at fedex field against dallas. Time is running out for Christmas Shopping and the redskins push to the playoffs. There were payouts for both today. Fox 5s karen gray houston is live with the story. Loud out there, karen. Reporter hey, if you have been procrastinating, you can still shop here, macys open 24 hours. Some of the other anchor stores here at tysons open until 11 00 tonight. Check these folks out over here. These folks are all shopped out and some other shoppers or a redskins high. At the Tysons Center mall mostly shoppers were here to shop. But on game day when the stakes are high, redskins fans do not want to miss out on the action. My wife and i are really big rg3 fans and they held on, a nice big sense of relief when that intentional grounding call came at the end. Reporter at nortons American Grill a 2721 over the eagles was like going to heaven. How did rg3 do . He did well. He threw for two touchdowns and an interception wasnt bad, right . Theres a difference with this team. Its a team that really is a team. Robert griffin, iii is their leader, but like they really play as a team. Alfred morris has been a great back for the season. They really look good. Reporter what about the cowboys next weekend . Theyre playing at redskins Home Field Advantage and with the divisional win were pumped up and can. Reporter some spouses let their significant others shop while they eyeballed the game. Dont get me wrong. Some shoppers were here to finish last minute Holiday Shopping. Is santa coming to your house . No. Reporter really . Been a naughty boy this year. Reporter but redskins fever was evident everywhere, especially after rg3 and the gang eked out a win. I just came out here because the redskins won and i wanted to, you know, do a little shopping after the redskins won, my victory lap. Reporter others stood in a very long line to take the kids to see santa. I want a bright light pillow and some other stuff. Reporter what are you going to ask for . For a helicopter and a batman tower and a goldfish and blades. Reporter the retailers have tried really hard to get customers attention. We noticed some discounts 60 to 80 off. It looks as if consumers might be a little nervous about the approaching fiscal cliff and the possibility of those tax increases and spending cuts, but i did manage to do a little shopping while i was out here and if youre good, ill bring a Little Something back to you. Oh, karen gray houston, always multitasking, i appreciate that. Well see you back here. I cant wait to see what you got me. Meantime fox 5 is tracking santa as he gets ready to take flight. The u. S. Military released this preview clip of santa claus. This is norad, the north American Aerospace defense command. While we count down to christmas we are also tracking the holiday forecast. Fox 5s gwen tolbart joins us now from the weather center. Weve asked about the chances for a white christmas. Anything new tonight perhaps . Weve got a little active weather moving into the course of tomorrow, but i am not looking at it bringing us anything in terms of a white christmas. Lets look at the maps. Heres a look at our satellite and radar composite, a few clouds moving into the south of us. We had rail bright day, plenty of sunshine a really bright day, plenty of sunshine due to a ridge of high pressure. We have a freezing rain advisory in effect from 6 a. M. Until noon on monday to the west of us and we are talking a period of freezing rain and sleet early in the morning. Then well see some snow mixing in a little later, but less than an inch of accumulation as far as the snow is concerned and less than. 1inch accumulation of ice.

We reached 47 at all three airports today, temperatures slightly above the seasonal average for the day and right now it is chiy out there, 38 degrees at reagan national, 31 at baltimore, only 27 at manassas, 28 at dulles. So were in for a pretty cool night looking at 35 degrees becoming mostly cloudy, cool and cold by the time we get through into the overnight hours.

Some extra love for a little girl shot on a metrobus earlier this month. 2yearold codys mother selina brown died in that shooting on minnesota avenue and southeast. Cody needs reconstructive surgery, so a few folks organized a fundraiser and toy drive to make her christmas happier. We wanted to reach out to the family to give them some type of Community Support to let them know that the community is behind them. We send them our deepest condolences. I just was like i have to go out and get whatever i can for her. Bring her spirits up, you know, and that this is something she will remember and it will always comfort her knowing that people love her. Isnt that wonderful. Codys grandmother will now raise her. So the organizers hoped they could show the family they didnt have to handle everything alone. Coming up it is the hot button issue of the week, gun control. Tonight the nra speaks out again on the issue, this time on one of the sunday morning talks shows. Plus or fox 5 political analyst weighs in on the issue. Plus well introduce you to an inspirational little girl whose only wish for the holidays is to give back to santa one letter at a time. the head of the National Prime association is not backing down from his calls for Rifle Association is not backing down from his calls for an armed guard in every school in america. Neither of those calling for stricter gun laws. The two sides squared off outside a gun shop today in virginia. Reporter this was a very small protest involving only about a dozen people, but they say their message is big, change the gun laws now before more innocent people get hurt. The protests took place outside nova firearms on west broad street in falls church. As people of faith, we believe in compassion and care and love. Reporter led by father jim birch, the group face united for gun sanity, is calling for two key changes. Guns are responsible for the slaughter of innocence time and time again in america. So were calling for two things, the end of assault weapons and clips and funding of Mental Health programs. I would recommend a revolver similar to this one. Reporter nova firearms chief instructor chuck nesby says whether than banning weapons he thinks the emphasis ought to be on teaching how to properly secure them. Obviously in the case in connecticut the lady did not have her firearms secured from a mentally illegal person, but thats something thats doable. Reporter nesby says all the talk about banning guns suns the tragedy has sent sales soaring. Since the tragedy has sent sales soaring. About a 400 increase. Why is that . People are afraid of the government. Theyre afraid of their second amount. Rights being restricted to protect themselves. Reporter senator mark warner who has an a rating from the nra is weighing in on the issue, too. If my memory is correct, there actually was an armed individual at columbine years ago and it didnt prevent that tragedy. So i think we need a comprehensive approach. I think it looks at Mental Health and protecting our schools and i also think it looks at these high volume magazines, you know, that can fire off so many rounds. Reporter father birch says people of faith cant stay silent on the gun issue any longer. To get into a place where we are defined not by the caliber of our character, but by the caliber of our weapon is a disgrace. Reporter senator Dianne Feinstein who introduced the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 has already said she will introduce similar legislation again in january. Back to you. Thank you, audrey. Between this and the fiscal cliff debates there is a lot to talk about in politics tonight. Were bringing in as always fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin. Good to see you tonight. Good to be here. Lets start where audrey left off, the nras Wayne Lapierre called senator feinsteins proposals a phoney bit of legislation built on lies and said it wont pass. Why . I think theres an entirely different climate. I think Wayne Lapierre is out of touch with public mood. You just ran claim of senator mark warner, a rating nra who is obviously rethinking his position. Senator manchin of west virginia, a proud nra member, has said that there has to be fundamental change and so i think you have people who were really advocates of leaving the gun control measures alone have now shifted and i think there is going to be legislation. The only problem is you mention the Dianne Feinstein is that in the past people have that had assault weapons before the ban were grandfathered in. So theyre going to have to look that the. There seems to be this look at that. There seems to be this myth in the nra that very powerful politician goes up against them. Should people fear the nra and why . Where does this come from and why are they this untouchable group no one should challenge . There are 4 million members. They put their money where their mouth is, but in the last election cycle they didnt do well at all. They profiled certain senators for defeat and with the exception of one they all lost. They said that barack obama who has really been to call him cautious would be almost kind really silent on the issue. They said he would be a disaster. They lost with him. So i think that their political muscle has been very much diminished and whether its been diminished or not people now who were formerly pro nra and were fearful of them are now ready to change their positions and vote against them. I want to move on and talk about the fiscal cliff. Speaker john boehner certainly taking a huge hit last week with his plan b proposal, didnt even get off the ground with his own party. Where does this leave things now . In some ways boehner was prophetic and said only gods knows. So mark plotkin doesnt know, but i really think it will be a much smaller version. In the end theyll come up with something and it will probably be some breakaway republicans, if there are any in the house, and the Senate Democrats to at least come up with something and then work toward the next year. You think there will be a deal . A miniaturized deal. Lastly lets talk about this cabinet positions, appointments made. Were hearing former republican senator chuck hagel may be nominated secretary of defense, but a Little Something going on. Whats it all about . Hes considered against gay right, not sufficiently pro israel negotiating with iran and even republicans like john cornyn of texas said theyre going to come out against him. It almost seems like susan rice all over again and they might appoint the the president might appoint the first woman secretary of defense michelle flornoy or someone named Ashton Carter in the defense department. They dont want a confirmation battle with all the other things happening. Were keeping our eye on a comber of things in the upcoming number of things in the upcoming weeks with fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin. Idaho republican Michael Crapo was pulled over at 1 a. M. This morning in alexandria at hume and mount vernon avenues. An officer reportedly saw the senator run a red light. He was arrested, taken to jail and released on bond. The senator released a statement saying in part, i am deeply sorry. I made a mistake for which i apologize to my family, constituents and any others who put their trust in me. I accept total responsibility and will deal with whatever penalty comes my way. The senator is due in Court January 4th.
