When the highlight of the game is a kick-off return…..you probably lost.  RB Rock Cartwright returned a kick-off 100 yards for a TD in the second quarter last night.  Mark Brunell looked his age last night, completing 18 of 33 passes (54.5%) for 197 yards and a pick-off.  Ledell Betts carried the ball 11 times for 40 yards (3.6 ypc) and he caught 7 passes for 57 yards (8.1 avg).  TJ Duckett carried the ball 5 times for 24 yards (4.8 ypc).  Santana Moss caught 4 passes for 69 yards (17.3 avg).

Some defensive players came to play last night.  Adam Archuleta had 11 tackles, Sean Taylor had 7 tackles and forced a fumble, and Marcus Washington had 9 tackles and a fumble recovery.  The Cowboys ran for 138 yards on 4.5 yards per carry.  The Skins allowed the Boys to complete 50% of their passes for 229 net yards passing.

Two tough losses to start the year for the Skins.
