The Redskins almost pulled out this game but they just couldn’t finish the deal.  Jason Campbell started this game as he was solid in completing 13 of 22 passes for 209 yards.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 5 yards (2.5 ypc) in this game.  Colt Brennan completed 6 of 12 passes for 81 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception in this game.  His pickoff was costly however as CB Jonathan Wilhite of the Patriots returned it 99 yards for a TD.  Anthony Alridge led the way on the ground for the Skins in this game with 49 yards rushing on 9 carries (5.4 ypc).  Marcus Mason was also busy carrying the ball 8 times for 30 yards (3.8 ypc) with a TD.  Mason also caught 2 passes for 23 yards in this game.  TE Chris Cooley (2 rec, 87 yards) and WR Santana Moss (5 rec, 56 yards) were both solid in this game.  The Redskins finished up with 384 total yards on offense (116 rushing, 268 passing) in this game.

LBs London Fletcher (9 tackles) and Brian Orokpo (6 tackles) led the way for the Skins in this game.  The Patriots finished with 277 yards of offense in this game (110 rushing, 167 passing).

The Redskins beat the Steelers at their own game pushing them around physically last Saturday Night.  Jason Campbell started this game at QB and he was terrible completing only 1 of 7 passes for 10 yards.  Todd Collins was the next one in and he didn’t look good either completing 5 of 9 passes for 39 yards with 1 interception.  Colt Brennan was next up and he completed 3 of 5 passes for 42 yards with 1 interception.  Undrafted QB Chase Daniel really energized the Redskins when he entered the game.  He completed 6 of 8 passes for 58 yards with 2 TD throws.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 22 yards.  RB Marcus Mason led the way for the Redskins on the ground in this game as he rushed for 45 yards on 11 carries (4.1 ypc).  Dominique Dorsey also had a solid game carrying the ball 11 times for 39 yards (3.5 ypc).  TE Fred Davis (2 rec, 31 yards) and WR Marko Mitchell (3 rec, 21 yards) each caught a TD pass in this game for the Redskins.  The Redskins had possession of the football for 35:28 of this game which is impressive.  They finished up with 304 total yards on offense (167 rushing, 137 passing).

5 different Redskins led the way for the D with 4 tackles apiece in a good team effort against the Ben Roethlisberger-less Steelers.  The Steelers were held to only 238 total yards on offense (99 rushing, 139 passing).

The Redskins appear to have a lot to work on after the pre-season opening beatdown that the Ravens applied to them.  Jason Campbell started and he completed 3 of 6 passes for 38 yards.  Todd Collins looked the best of the QBs on this night as he completed 8 of 11 passes for 70 yards.  Colt Brennan was absolutely awful in this game completing 4 of 12 passes for 43 yards with a interception.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 13 yards (4.3 ypc).  Rock Cartwright led all rushers on the Redskins with 24 yards on six carries (4.0 ypc).  D.J. Hackett (2 rec, 28 yards) and Malcolm Kelly (3 rec, 25 yards) were the leading receivers in this game for the Redskins.  The Redskins finished with only 199 total yards of offense as they only had possession of the football for a alarming 24:16!

The defense did not play well at all in this game giving up a whopping 500 yards (399 yards passing) of offense to the Ravens.  Safety Kareem Moore (7 tackles) and CB Lendy Holmes (6 tackles) led a poor team effort on defense. 

The Redskins have nowhere to go but up after this pathetic showing.
