Grossman threw his fourth interception of the game to the Eagles Kurt Coleman on the Redskins final drive of the third quarter.
Coleman intercepted Grossman three times, including an interception at the goal line on Washington's first possession of the game.
Backup quarterback John Beck was brought in to start the fourth quarter for the Redskins, and led the offense on two drives—the final one ending in a touchdown, which brought the Eagles lead to seven with just under three minutes remaining.
At the moment, Redskins fans are most likely in support of head coach Mike Shanahan's move to pull Grossman after his careless passes denied Washington a shot at a very winnable game.
Grossman came into Sunday's matchup with six touchdowns and five interceptions. But now walks away from Week 6 with nine interceptions to just those six touchdowns—hardly the numbers of a starting quarterback in the NFL.
Beck looked decent but not great in relief of Grossman, but with more practice and reps with the first team, he has the potential to outplay Grossman for the starting spot.
Beck had his moments under center in the preseason but was scratched instead for the veteran Grossman in Week 1 against the Giants.
The bottom line now is that Beck gives Washington the best chance to win. In two drives against Philadelphia, Beck nearly equaled Grossman's yards and completions through three quarters, while tripling up on Grossman's quarterback rating.
Beck has just as much mobility as Grossman and every bit the arm of the former Florida Gator. He just needs the chance.
Washington will be on the road at 1-5 Carolina in Week 7, desperately needing a win to stay afloat in the rugged NFC East.
Look for John Beck to get the start and give the Redskins a steady hand under center rather than an impatient, in over his head, burnt out veteran.
