Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Michael Vick threw for 335 yards with three touchdowns and an interception and DeSean Jackson hauled in a 62-yard score in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia took down Washington, 34-10, in the regular season finale for both teams.

Vick completed just two of his first eight throws, but finished the contest 24-of-39 passing for the Eagles (8-8), who closed the season with four straight wins. The victory also guarantees the Eagles a second place finish in the NFC East.

Jeremy Maclin caught eight balls for 105 yards, Brent Celek had six receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown and Jackson finished with 86 yards on four catches.

LeSean McCoy was inactive for the finale due to an ankle injury he suffered last Saturday against the Cowboys. Dion Lewis got the bulk of the carries and finished with 58 yards and a score.

Evan Royster ran for 113 yards and Rex Grossman completed 22-of-45 passes for 256 yards with a touchdown and an interception for Washington (5-11), which closed the year losing four of its last five games.
