The Redskins used a great defense, minus two blown coverages, and a solid offense that had no turnovers to beat the reeling Broncos, 27-17. Ladell Betts ran for 114 yards and a touchdown filling in for the injured Clinton Portis. Jason Campbell was 17 of 26 for 193 yards and a touchdown. Punter Hunter Smith got his second touchdown of the year, this time he threw a pass to Brad Sellers out of the field goal formation. He may be the only punter to run and throw for a touchdown this season. If you take away the two blown coverages for touchdowns in the first half, the Skins defense only gave up 70 yards in the air. Of course, some of that can be contirbuted to Kyle Orton not playing in the second half due to injury. However, the defense played great in the second half and the Redskins offense actually scored more than 17 points in a game for the first time this year. The Skins are two games out of the wild card race and three games out of the division. The next two games are division games against Dallas and Philly, so if they win these two games, they may be back in business.
Drew Storen pitched on Thursday and Saturday in the Arizona Fall League. On Thursday, he walked a batter, but was otherwise spotless as he threw an inning of work. On Saturday, he threw two innings and allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two. He did not allow a run in either outing and recorded a save on Saturday. His ERA is 0.71 and ranks 3rd in the league. He is tied for the leagues lead in saves and is second in games finished.
