Once again: great defense + no offense = loss

The Redskins held Dallas to 17 points in a great defensive effort, however, the offense failed to score a point in a 17-0 defeat to the hated Cowboys. It all comes down to the offensive line. The line has been banged up, as the team started it's 11th different line combination in the 15 games this season. Also, our running backs have been hurt. Combine those and the running backs ran for 30 yards on 14 carries. When you can't run the ball, the defense knows your going to pass. Jason Campbell had no time to throw the ball as he threw mostly short passes, going 24 of 39 for 199 yards and 1 INT. The interception was not his fault as the ball was tipped. Anyways, 5.1 yards per pass attempt is not going to win ball games for the Skins. LaRon Landry had 11 total tackles to lead the defense. London Fletcher chipped in with 8 tackles and a pass defensed. The season mercifully ends next Sunday against the Chargers.

The Brownsburg basketball teams start play this week after the Christmas break. The girls team travels to Lawrence Central on Tuesday to play in the LC invitational. The Dogs play Beech Grove in game one and will play either Triton Central or LC in the night game. BBurg is a 10 point favorite against Beech Grove. The boys team travels to Perry Meridian on Wednesday as 5 point underdogs.
