After the Giants were forced to settle for a field goal on their opening drive, the Redskins took over and immediately did what they do best: that is, hand the ball to Clinton Portis. And he took it from there, rushing 34 yards to the Giants 37 yard-line (read: just about field goal range, tie game, etc).
First Quarter: Giants 3 Redskins 0
Then Jim Zorn tried to fool the Giants, and the Skins paid dearly. Antwaan Randle-El lost 11 yards on the reverse, and the Skins’ offense stalled from there.
On the bright side, Washington’s Haynesworth-infused run defense looks stout thus far; twice now, they’ve stopped New York on 3rd and 1 deep in their own territory, and just now stopped the Giants on 4th and 1, as well. Clearly, the Haynesworth investment has paid off so far.
On the not-so-bright side, the notoriously injury-prone Haynesworth just hobbled off the field. Oh to be a Redskins fan...
