The Washington Redskins (2-3) could not get much going offensively Sunday and lost to the previously winless Carolina Panthers (1-3).  The Redskins were up 17-2 after a Clinton Portis touchdown run with 10 minutes to play in the 3rd quarter.  Portis finished the contest with only 57 yards on 19 carries (3.0 avg), but he did have both of the Redskins touchdowns.  The Redskins looked like they were going to win easily, but they could not keep their lead and let the Panthers score 18 unanswered points.

The Panthers made some adjustments as halftime as all of their 18 offensive points came in the second half.  The only points the Panthers could get in the first half came from a safety.  Thomas Davis tackled Portis in the endzone during the second quarter for the two points.  The Panthers defense looked improved but it was more of the Redskins offense not making plays.  Campbell only passed for 145 yards on 17/23 (74%), but he did have a touchdown.  Campbell did not throw any picks, but he just was not very aggressive and rarely looked to put the ball down field.  The Redskins are at home next week playing the winless Kansas City Chiefs, but they have now lost two games to a winless team and need to make sure they come in focused against the Chiefs.
