LANDOVER, Md. - The Philadelphia Eagles guaranteed themselves a week off. There's no telling what's in store for the Washington Redskins.

In a dominating performance, Donovan McNabb completed 23 of 32 passes for 242 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score Saturday night in a 31-7 victory over Washington that clinched the Eagles' third consecutive NFC East title.

The Eagles (12-4) secured a much-needed off week to rest their injured players; running back Brian Westbrook joined the list when he tore a triceps muscle in the first half. Philadelphia will have home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs if St. Louis loses to Detroit today.

The Redskins (5-11) lost 10 of their last 12 and finished with their worst record since going 3-13 in 1994, and there is rampant speculation over the future of coach Steve Spurrier.

Spurrier has said the franchise needs to undergo significant changes, but he had refused to be specific about his plans until the season was over.

Among Washington's lowlights: The team broke the franchise record for penalties in a season, committing nine to finish with 124 and surpass the mark of 122 set in a 12-game season in 1948.

McNabb moved impeccably in the pocket, finding open receivers on the run as the Eagles scored touchdowns on their first three drives to take a 21-7 halftime lead.

McNabb completed passes to 10 receivers, including himself. One of his passes was batted back to him by LaVar Arrington, although the catch was a bad decision that resulted in a 7-yard loss.

Bruce Smith, the Redskins' defensive end and NFL sack king was honored at halftime of his final game. The cries of "Bruuuuuce!" turns to boos when Smith thanked owner Dan Snyder, who has overseen four consecutive non-winning seasons. The 40-year-old Smith finished his 19-year career with 200 sacks, breaking Reggie White's mark of 198.
