The Redskins snapped the Lions’ 19-game losing streak yesterday as they just didn’t play a good football game.  The heat will be on Jim Zorn because he called a short pass at the end of the game with some pitches involved instead of just throwing the ball in the end zone despite losing by five points at the time.  Jason Campbell actually played a solid game here completing 27 of 41 passes for 340 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception.  He also had 1 carry for 21 yards.  The Redskins abandoned the running game early in this game as Clinton Portis led the team with only 42 yards rushing on 12 carries (3.5 ypc).  Jason Campbell did a good job of spreading the ball around as 10 different players caught at least 1 pass in this game.  But it was Santana Moss who stood out for the Skins catching 10 passes for 178 yards (17.8 avg) with a TD grab.  The Redskins rolled up 390 total yards on offense in this game (65 rushing, 325 passing) despite only having possession of the football for 23:12.

The Redskins did not play good at all on defense as they just couldn’t get off the field.  LB London Fletcher (16 tackles) and safety LaRon Landry (8 tackles) led the way for the Skins yesterday.  The Lions finished up this game with 381 total yards on offense (154 rushing, 227 passing).  The Redskins are now 1-2 on the season.
