Portis Excelling


Clinton Portis ran for two touchdowns and had 104 yards on 25 carries Sunday. His 27 yards on four receptions gave him a career high for yards receiving in a season (389). His yards from scrimmage during the four-game winning streak: 122, 126, 124 and 131.
Former Redskins great Dexter Manley revived memories of the old days by taking the microphone and leading cheers of "We want Dallas!" from the field before kickoff. Coincidentally, those were the very words written by Taylor on an autographed photo discovered on the Internet by defensive end Phillip Daniels' wife, a photo Daniels shared with his teammates Saturday.

R.I.P Sean We Will Never Forget You

"I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21," veteran left tackle Chris Samuels said. "I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."

Stats:
Collins Todd, TDS 5, INT 0, YDS 888, RTG 106.4

Portis Clinton, CAR 325,YDS 1262, AVG 3.9, TD 11

Moss Santana, REC 61, YDS 808, AVG 13.2, TD 3

Cooley Chris, REC 66, YDS 786, AVG 11.9, TD 8

The workhorse tailback continued his strong running toward the end of the season with 104 yards rushing on 25 carries with two touchdowns. Portis has rushed at least 20 times in each of the last three games " including going for 126 against the New York Giants on Dec. 16 " and scored at least one touchdown in each contest.
"Our offensive line is playing great," Portis said. "The way Stephon [Heyer] is playing is great. He went up to New York and played Michael Strahan straight up. Today, he handled DeMarcus Ware."

Apparently out of postseason contention and mourning the death of a teammate less than a month ago, the Redskins beat them Dallas Cowboys and beat them badly, 27-6 winning 4 straight to guarantee a berth in the playoffs. The Redskins will go on to play the Seattle Seahawks in seattle. As for the Jason Campbell fans I dont think he will be playing yet because he doesnt know how to finish games.
