Young capped off two Redskins drives over the period, the second of which came off Cody Parkey's second-straight missed field goal on the night.
Robert Griffin led Washington (3-11) over 76 yards the first time, slinging a first-down toss to DeSean Jackson, evading a sack and carrying himself over midfield for a 7 yard rush. His 17 yard pass to Pierre Garcon worked the Redskins to the Eagles 22.
Griffin was roughed illegally twice on the charge by linbackers Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry, giving the Redskins possession on the Eagles 1.
Penalties would put Washington on the Eagles 1 again as Nate Allen interfered with DeSean Jackson in the end zone. Jackson hauled in a 55 yard pass-play from Robert Griffin to the Eagles 13.
His 51 yarder past Fletcher set up the Skins' first touchdown earlier in the evening.
Griffin went 12-of-17 for 190 yards passing, adding 11 yards on 5 rushes. Alfred Morris has 63 yards on 14 attempts.
Zach Ertz and Jordan Matthews caught the Eagles to the Redskins 36, gaining a quick 33 yards. Sanchez rushed twice to produce the 3rd-and-1, on which LeSean McCoy was stuffed for no gain over the right side.
But Cody Parkey would miss his second field goal try on the night and only his fourth this season as the Redskins retained their three-point lead.
The Redskins, on a six-game losing skid, avoided a near fatal turnover as the third quarter began.
Andre Roberts fumbled the opening kick in the third quarter when the football was punched from his grasp by safety Malcolm Jenkins. Nolan Carroll jumped onto the recovery for Philadelphia on the Redskins 16.
But the Eagles would fail to convert in their goal-to-go series and Cody Parkey's 34 yard field goal fluttered wide right.
Philadelphia (9-5) is seeking to avoid a three-game losing streak and to represent the NFC East in the postseason after losing that division's lead to Dallas on Sunday night.
