Two Touchdowns for Moss
The Washington Redskins have been waiting for the right opportunity to have Santana Moss return a punt. Perfect timing. Moss returned a punt 80 yards early in the fourth quarter, scoring what proved to be Washington’s game-winning touchdown in a 25-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. “Once he gets open, he’s tough to [...]
Moss’s Spinning Football
Surely you’ve noticed that Santana Moss spins the football at least once a game following a big catch, and often more than that. I know I’ve quoted him before on his spinning footballs, but I can’t remember when that was, and like they say, what happened last year doesn’t count. Oh, plus Clinton Portis has [...]
Rockstar
Santana Moss’s fourth quarter touchdown led to the image of the game, seen above. First he whirled his arm at his side, then he pointed the football to the stands and swiveled from side to side. And the meaning? “What was it?” Antwaan Randle El wondered. “I know he was doing something with his arms. [...]
Hungry
In a joyous locker room late one evening last month at Texas Stadium, Santana Moss sifted through compliments and congratulations. The Washington Redskins had beaten the Dallas Cowboys that day, an upset that instantly transformed perceptions of the team and what it could do. Moss was a primary reason why, bursting into vast meadows of [...]
Rams 19 – Redskins 17
The St. Louis Rams seemed almost determined to sink to 0-5. They fumbled at their own 4-yard line on their second play from scrimmage. They were going nowhere until a fluke turnover flipped the momentum. They blew a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter. They set themselves up for a gimme field goal to win [...]
Redskins 23 – Eagles 17
A few of the Washington Redskins were walking off the field, high-fiving, hugging and celebrating another road victory when they looked up at disgruntled fans and gave them another reason to pout. “There’s a new Beast of the East,” players shouted. That’s no exaggeration. Clinton Portis ran for 145 yards and one touchdown, wide receiver [...]
Big Play Maker
The thought occurred to Jason Campbell long before the current buzz began. It came to him back in March, as the Washington Redskins took a new direction on another long road and no one quite knew what to expect. When the quarterback began to work with the receivers in the privacy of a closed practice [...]

Redskins 26 – Cowboys 24
Jim Zorn will go down in history as the only Washington Redskins coach never to lose a regular-season game at Texas Stadium. Better yet, the Redskins are going into October as a legitimate contender in the NFC East. Jason Campbell threw two touchdown passes and Clinton Portis ran for 121 yards, leading Washington to a [...]
Winning Touchdown to Moss Again
For the second week in a row the Redskins scored a touchdown that put them on top. And for the second week in a row that touchdown was to Moss. The Redskins beat the Cardinals 24-17 to improve to 2-1 and Moss finished the day with 7 receptions for 75 yards and one touchdown. Moss [...]
Redskins 24 – Cardinals 17
Even Leigh Torrence wasn’t sure how he deflected the ball. He got a piece of it with his hand, he thought. Maybe it then bounced off his helmet. What really matters is that he was there, swinging the tide Sunday with a solid defensive play in the fourth quarter. He kept pace with Steve Breaston [...]
