The offense was the reason the Redskins last yesterday.  Jason Campbell completed 19 of 26 passes for 211 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 16 yards.  Clinton Portis carried the ball 16 times for 62 yards (3.9 ypc) yesterday.  Punter Hunter Smith got 1 carry for 8 yards which went for a TD with 21 seconds to go before halftime.  It was a fake field goal and it was a beautiful play as Smith was untouched on his journey to the end zone.  Antwaan Randle El (98 yards) and TE Chris Cooley (68 yards, TD) each caught 7 passes apiece in this game.  The Redskins only had possession of the ball for 23:52 of this game finishing with 272 total yards on offense (85 rushing, 187 passing).

The defense appeared to get tired in this game as they were on the field far too long.  Linebacker London Fletcher led the way for the Skins with 18 tackles in this game.  CB DeAngelo Hall pitched in with 7 tackles and a interception.  The Giants finished up with 351 total yards in this game (103 rushing, 248 passing).

    It’s pretty hard to win any game when you have the ball for only 23 minutes, unless it’s big play after big play. TE Chris Cooley did look pretty good as he racked up a lot of points for me on my fantasy team, but the Redskins need to establish Portis more and use the clock to let their defense rest.
