Fusina completed 17 of 31 passes, including a 38-yard scoring strike to Willie Collier in the fourth quarter, to spoil the coaching debut of Washington's Dick Bielski - a former fullback and tight end with the Philadelphia Eagles - before 12,067 fans.

Washington marched 58 yards for a 6-0 lead the first time it touched the ball. Joey Walters, who set a league record with 205 yards receiving last week against Jacksonville, froze the Philadelphia secondary with a fake to the outside before catching Mike Hohensee's pass in the end zone for 13 yards and the score. Sandro Vitiello's extra point attempt was no good.
The Stars went ahead late in the first quarter after going 69 yards in 12 plays. Bryant, stopped on the previous play for no gain dived over the left side of the Philadelphia line from the 1-yard line for the go-ahead score.
Vitiello missed on field goal atternpts of 43 and 51 yards, the second on the last play of the half as the Stars held a 7-6 lead at intermission.
