NFL Sores Week 5: Washington Redskins Shut Down Detroit Lions Offense in Rout

Atlanta, Ga. 10/8/2007 3:56:43 AM

Jason Campbell threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns, Clinton Portis added 72 yards rushing and the Washington Redskins defense held the Detroit Lions to just 144 yards of total offense in their 34-3 blowout on Sunday.

 

The win improved the Redskins to 3-1 on the year while the Lions fell to 3-2 after suffering their second consecutive loss.

 

After a scoreless first quarter the Redskins got on the board in the second when Campbell found Chris Cooley on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Washington upped their advantage to 14-0 when Mike Sellers pounded out a 1-yard touchdown with just under two minutes remaining in the half.

 

Detroit scored their only points of the game in the third quarter on a Jason Hanson 39-yard field-goal to get within 14-3 but the Redskins defense stepped up and on Detroit’s next possession managed to sack Kitna in the endzone for a safety.

 

Sellers boosted the score to 24-3 early in the fourth when he took a Campbell pass 8-yards for a score and the Skins converted a two-point conversion.

 

Carlos Rodgers capped the scoring for the Redskins when he took a Kitna interception back 61-yards for a touchdown with 45 seconds left in the game.

 

Both teams struggled to hold on to the ball as Kitna was picked off twice but the Lions fumbled four times but recovered each one. Washington fumbled five times but lost the ball just once.
