Can you guess who holds the Redskins franchise record for most receptions in a single game? OK, you're smart so you know from the headline that it's now Roy Helu, who caught 14 passes against the 49ers on Sunday.

Surely, Redskins traditionalists won’t mind this at all ...

@barrysvrluga
Barry Svrluga So Roy Helu has 14 catches, breaking Art Monk's franchise record for most in a game. Boz in press box: "That's a crime." Indeed.
