Jason Campbell News

Both the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins experienced a reversal of recent fortunes in their previous games.

Every Friday, we'll tackle five big questions for the Cowboys going into the weekend's game.

When he last saw the Broncos , DeAngelo Hall was making his regular-season debut for Oakland.

Here's a warning for fantasy football players who are deeply immersed in the pregame ritual of poring over every available NFL stat: Don't believe them.

After posting a rushing performance unlike any Redskins fans had seen this season, running back Ladell Betts was led to the interview room beneath FedEx Field. It's a postgame area usually reserved for the head coach and one or two star players. Betts is a guy whose own team misspelled the name on the back of his jersey during a preseason game this year.

'I was just joking on the way over here, I didn't remember how to get to this room,' Betts said with a smile. 'It's been so long.'

Fortunately for the Redskins, he didn't have the same problem finding his way to the field for the team's first offensive possession. Starting for the first time since 2006, Betts proved to be a difference-maker in Washington's 27-17 win over the Broncos. The Redskins snapped a four-game losing streak, and Betts posted the team's best rushing performance of the season.

Behind Levi Jones and an again-revamped line, Jason Campbell , Ladell Betts and the Redskins' offense had their best day, scoring 27 points and gaining 388 yards.

At least Redskins fans, living in and around the nation's capital, know their foreign affairs.

Hunter Smith's cross-field touchdown pass on a fake field goal will dominate the highlight shows from now until Christmas, but that bit of chicanery wasn't the main reason why the Washington Redskins beat Denver yesterday.

The Washington Redskins ' unexpected win over the Denver Broncos must have been especially sweet for Skins' QB Jason Campbell.

The Washington Redskins broke the 17-point barrier for the first time this season and ended a four-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

If Admiral Ackbar of "Star Wars" fame were a football fan, he would be screaming his trademark line to the Denver Broncos right now.

As painful as it may be to play , the Redskins ' season will continue. There is no mercy rule in football.

The injury-ravaged Redskins will be without running back Clinton Portis when Washington takes the field Sunday against the Broncos.

A fresh, new NFL head coach has his team off to a 6-2 start. Sure, there have been some bumps along the way, but most everyone is pleasantly surprised with a record that's better than anyone would have predicted.

Dan Snyder's NFL life is flashing before his eyes in the last few months of this interminable season.

Not all the news was bad for the Redskins in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Atlanta. Those second-half scoring drives were the best I've seen them put together this season -- nice blocking by the offensive line, nice mix of plays, nice use of the clock, nice work by a battered Jason Campbell. I don't know who called which play -- Sherman Lewis, Sherman Smith, Sherman Hemsley or Shermy from Peanuts -- and with those results, I don't care.

However . . . there's always a 'however' with this team. This week's 'howevers' were many and varied. It took a rant-fest at halftime to inspire the offensive line. The normally stalwart defense stumbled in the second half, when the offense needed it most. And there was a lack of fundamentals and discipline that was appalling.

Even with the Washington Redskinsa TM paltry two wins, the worlda TMs worst owner and a heated fanbase, no one in the equation deserves Larry Johnson .

The nation's economy may be starting to show signs of springing back to life, but the recession seemingly knows no depths when it comes to the Washington Redskins.

What a Day for #33 The Falcons ended their only two game skid in the Coach Mike Smith era by blistering the Redskins in the first half, and then holding on in the second half after coming out completely flat in the third quarter.

The Saints are now 8-0. They, along with the Colts, have become an unstoppable juggernaut that dominates any team they play.
