Washington Redskins 6, Kansas City Chiefs
The Washington Redskins (2-4) looked awful on Sunday, losing to a win-less Kansas City Chiefs (1-5) squad. The Redskins failed to score a touchdown and only got two field goals from Shaun Suisham in the third quarter. Jason Campbell looked bad again and after only getting 89 yards on 9/16 and an interception in the first half, he was benched in the second half. Todd Collins came in and wasn’t much better. Collins went 6/14 for 75 yards and failed to reach the end-zone. Head coach Jim Zorn has to take a lot of the blame and it looks like he is probably on his way out as it was announced today that Zorn has lost his play-calling authority. Sherman Lewis is taking over the play-calling duties and is apparently a west-coast offensive guru.
The Redskins defense did a pretty solid job in this game, keeping the Chiefs out of the end-zone and limiting them to four field goals. They got nothing out of their offense though, so there was not much they could do other than try and force some turnovers, which they failed to do. They held Matt Cassel to 186 passing yards on 17/32 attempts. They also limited running back Larry Johnson to only 83 yards on 23 carries. Chiefs’ receiver Dwayne Bowe did too much damage though, going for 109 yards on only six catches (18.2 avg). Clinton Portis was the only bright spot for the Redskins offense, rushing for 109 yards on 15 carries (7.2 avg) including a 78 yard run. The Redskins look like they get worse week by week, and hopefully Sherman Lewis can revamp their offense. Zorn still gets to decide who his starting quarterback will be though, and will decide sometime this week. They will look to turn things around against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
