REDSKINS WIN!

The Redskins had arguably the best game of the season on Sunday. It was the first game the Redskins have won with over 20 points.

They played without Chris Cooley (broken ankle), Chris Samuel (neck injury) or Clinton Portis (concussion). Ladell Betts started for the first time since 2006, in place of Portis. Surprisingly, the Redskins did just fine without them.

The Broncos started off their season winning their first 6 games. Their last 3 games, against the Ravens, the Steelers and the Redskins, have all resulted in a loss coming off of their bye week. The Redskins lost their last 4 games, against the Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs and Panthers. Their record coming into this game was 2-6.

Unfortunately, being a Redskins fan in Ravens’ Town is pretty difficult at times. I missed all of the excitement because it’s nearly impossible to watch a game unless you head out to a restaurant or bar and sit there for hours. I had to watch the game simulation online. SO LAME.

Luckily, the two most exciting plays have been replayed frequently on Sports Center. After a fake field goal attempt, punter Hunter Smith completed his first touchdown pass, 35-yards to Mike Sellers. Later, Betts scored a 1-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter with little time left on the clock. The Redskins won 27-17.

Next up the Skins will take on the Cowgirls...I mean, Cowboys. Go Skins!
