To say this game was ugly for the Washington Redskins (8-6) would be an understatement, as the New York Giants (4-10) embarrassed them.  Jason Campbell did not play well at all, but he got very little protection and little help from the running game.  Campbell threw 2 interceptions and 1 touchdown, gaining 192 yards through the air on 15/28 pass attempts.  Campbell was sacked five times though, so not all of the blame can fall on him since he was pressured all night by the Giants front line.  The running game only gave him 89 yards, and he accounted for 36 of those rushing yards.  Unless it is Michael Vick in 2003, its usually not a good sign when your quarterback leads you in rushing.  Its never a good sign when your leading rusher only has 36 yards either.

The Redskins didn’t do much of anything right on defense, and found themselves down 24-0 at halftime.  Eli Manning lit them up for 3 touchdowns and 268 yards on 19/26 passes.  They also gave up a lot on the ground, with the Giants gaining 114 yards on 30 carries.  Ahmad Bradshaw only needed 9 carries against them to get 2 touchdowns and 61 yards.  The Redskins did not come out ready to play and the Giants took advantage.  A very poor effort by the Skins.
