Redskins Shock New Orleans and Everyone

Perhaps it was the red pants that the Redskins wore that helped them execute a huge upset of the New Orleans Saints, 16-10.

The Skins looked good, controlling the clock, and the D finally had a great game.

The D still had familiar problems, like when Marcus Washington dropped an easy interception that should have put 7 points on the board. But Sean Taylor was a stud, knocking out a big seam pass in the second quarter and having tons of great tackles.

The refs missed a major Q2 delay of game on the part of NO. It was so obvious on tv, with 11:32 in the second and NO 3rd and 9. The play clock went to zero and then there was another second before Brees threw. I have it on TiVo. NO converted, and scored a touchdown on the next drive.

But despite that bad call the Skins excelled and Carlos Rogers had his first good game of the season, with one interception and a key deflection on the Saints' last toss.
