Robert Griffin III returned from last week's concussion to help the Redskins snap an eight-game home losing walt disney swan hotel streak in a defeat of the late-charging Vikings. The eight consecutive home losses was the longest active walt disney swan hotel streak walt disney swan hotel in the NFL and the third-longest in franchise history.
walt disney swan hotel Washington (3-3) went up 31-12 early in the fourth quarter on a 24-yard interception return for a touchdown by ex-Viking Madieu walt disney swan hotel Williams . The Vikings (4-2) fought back, however, closing to within 31-26 after quarterback Christian walt disney swan hotel Ponder floated a 1-yard walt disney swan hotel touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph with 3 minutes, 42 seconds remaining.
Then the Redskins' rookie quarterback took over. On 3rd-and-6 from his own 24 with less than 3 minutes remaining, Griffin was flushed out of the pocket and headed for the left sideline, taking it all the way to the end zone before performing a "Landover Leap" into the front row of a delirious group of Redskins fans. It was the longest touchdown run by a quarterback since Pittsburgh's walt disney swan hotel Kordell Stewart went 80 yards in 1996.
Ponder posted career-highs in completions (35) and attempts (52) in the comeback effort, tossing a pair of touchdowns but also two picks. Percy Harvin took over the NFL lead in receptions by catching 11 passes for a game-high 133 yards.

If you want to change a culture and prove to your fans that your program is on the up-swing, these are the types of games the Redskins have to start winning: Mid-season games against a team ahead of you in the standings with something at stake.
The New York Giants (4-2) dominated the San Francisco 49ers last weekend, discount cruise vacation package throttling one of football s premiere teams in a road-victory discount cruise vacation package that saw Ahmed Bradshaw rush for 116 yards in a 26-3 win. The impressive Giants, who have triumphed in two straight and four-of-five contests recently, have outscored their opponents by 64 points this season. No other team in the NFC East has a points margin of better than plus-5.
Sunday s game with the Giants is the Redskins most significant and meaningful contest during the Shanahan era, which will have spanned 39 games by the end of this weekend. Here are a few reasons why this is the most important game the team has played in under its third-year head coach.
If they can upset the Giants the Redskins would go into the final game of the first half of the team s season as the top team in the NFC East. They don t give you any awards for being in first place at the midway point, but sitting atop the division in late October would be a vast departure from where the Redskins were at the end of last season, when the team dropped 10 of its final 12 games.
With a win, Washington would also be over .500 for the first time since a week-one win in New Orleans and hovering around .500 is the key to remaining relevant discount cruise vacation package into December, something the Redskins should have set as a goal before the season started. If you can get to December and still be pictured when the TV networks show their still in the hunt playoff graphics, discount cruise vacation package you ve done a respectable job after winning 11 games in the two previous campaigns.
More important than just being in first place for the Redskins though, is the idea that a win would signify that the team actually showed up and out-played a club perceived to be superior in a big game. When is the last time Washington did that?
A Redskins win in New York would mean that Washington discount cruise vacation package tallied back-to-back wins. That doesn t sound that impressive, right? discount cruise vacation package It s just two straight wins. No big deal. Nothing discount cruise vacation package to see here. Two wins in a seven-day span is no big deal, after all. Wrong. discount cruise vacation package The Redskins haven t won consecutive games since last September. Kind of crazy, right?
I asked cornerback Josh Wilson about winning streaks this week and he had some interesting things to say. In addition to making the obvious point that good teams string wins together and bad teams don t, he said that all of the good teams he s been on have had some type of four or five game winning streak that you don t even notice. He said those good clubs go streaking for a few weeks without even noticing it, then you look up and all the sudden you have 10 wins and you re headed to the playoffs. That s an extreme an example of what I m talking about. But before you can win five straight you have to win two in a row.
Washington has a couple of decent wins on its resume right now. Beating the Saints in New Orleans to inaugurate the season was impressive and the Redskins deserve a ton of credit for that road victory in a hostile environment. But that win doesn t look as good on paper now that the Saints have lost four of the five games they ve played and been outscored by 13 points in 2012.
Last weekend s win over the first-place Vikings was pivotal, and it came against discount cruise vacation package a 4-1 team. But most people don t think the Minnesota Vikings are legitimate and my guess is that their record won t be nearly as fear-inducing at year s end as it was when the Redskins played them. That doesn t mean Washington discount cruise vacation package doesn t deserve credit for beating a club that had upended a couple of top-tier clubs earlier in the season, it just means that the Redskins are still looking for a signature discount cruise vacation package win.
Beating discount cruise vacation package the Giants would be a resume-padding, legitimacy-creating victory. If the NFL was college basketball, the selection committee could point to a week-seven win in New York against a then  first place Giants team that had won four-of-five and say that s a huge win, and that would help Washington s cause to make the tournament.
The Giants lost to both the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this season, a rough way to initiate division play for a team with postseason aspirations. If you re a team like New York a viable contender with a legitimate shot at making postseason noise you don t want to go any worse than 4-2 inside the NFC East. Furthermore, though, you can t afford to be worse than 3-3 in league play.
I understand that the Giants are 4-0 outside of the NFC East but not losing any games outside of your division discount cruise vacation package is going to end at some point. If you plan on being a division champion, you ve got to have a respectable division record.

NFL Free Picks: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers Betting What pro football bettors need to kno

The Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins will test their mettle against one another today at FedEX Field in Landover, Maryland. Start time in this afternoon s skirmish between the two NFC squads is set for 4:25pm ET; the game will be broadcast live on FOX. NFL Predictions and Odds are leaning the Vikings way, but not with a great deal of confidence. Minnesota is lined as a -1 against the spread road favorite while the game total is set at 44 points.
One of the few questions about Robert Griffin III coming out of college was how well his slender frame would hold up to the pounding that an NFL quarterback is often forced to absorb. Well, last week provided both good and bad answers.
Griffin was forced to leave last Sunday s game against Atlanta after a vicious but legal hit from Falcons linebacker Sean Wheatherspoon. The Heisman winner s replacement, fellow rookie Kirk Cousins, potentially cost Washington an upset victory as he tossed two critical interceptions in the relief appearance.
Minnesota s defense has been the catalyst behind the team s surprising 4-1 start, but it too will be challenged as the Redskins have experienced a fair amount of offensive success with Griffin at the controls.
The Vikings are still a bit of an unknown commodity as well. Minnesota does own a big win over San Francisco, but the rest of its early opponents are a combined 6-13 on the season. The Vikings are also 1-1 on the road and their 20-13 win at Detroit featured two special teams touchdowns.
NFL Free Picks: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers Betting What pro football bettors need to know about New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (10/14/12) - a free pick from Pregame.com s Chuck Edel, with Vegas Runner and host Chris Andrews.

The Redskins pass-rush has obviously not turned out to be what we had hoped for this year, due in la

With the Vikings dishing out surprises left and right, and the Redskins facing injuries at almost every position, no one can really say how this game will play out. Of note is the Redskins 8 game losing streak at home. Hopefully they can come away with the win and give fans something to cheer about after last week's disappointment.
Coming off a concussion that ended the game for him last week, RGIII seems to be eager to get back in on the action. Thus far all the signs point to him playing as he is apparently not suffering any symptoms. However as we all know, he can be pulled from the game at any time for any reason, as the NFL continues to adopt the "it's better bali cliff hotel to be safe than sorry" motto about head injuries. It's going to be interesting to see how, or if, his confidence has been affected following a fairly unsuccessful game last week. He did participate fully (or at all) in many of the practices this week, so making the changes necessary in order to not repeat his mistake has probably bali cliff hotel been more difficult. The young rookie is facing a difficult situation, and will likely be more in his head this week. This hopefully will not hamper his ability bali cliff hotel to get into the rhythm that makes him such a powerful force on offense. bali cliff hotel There has been a focus this week on his protection, so it will be interesting to see how the team responds and what changes are made.
Trent Williams will face another challenge this week with Jared Allen. He is apparently looking forward to it, after a strong performance last week where he kept John Abraham from recording a sack. Williams seems to be more ambitious and motivated this year, a refreshing change from last season both in attitude bali cliff hotel and performance.
* Of note- if Griffin scores a rushing bali cliff hotel touchdown in this game it will bring his total to 5 and he will hold the new record bali cliff hotel for most rushing touchdowns in a season by a Redskins quarterback. He is tied right now with Theismann and LeBaron.
The status of Pierre Garcon remains bali cliff hotel unknown, but given his pain level even if he plays he will probably bali cliff hotel not be 100%. This opens the door for Moss and Hankerson, both of whom have been impressive recently. Moss had a fantastic bali cliff hotel touchdown last week, showing us all that he is still very much in the game.
Perhaps no one remembers bali cliff hotel the last time these two teams met more than Adrian Peterson. It was in the Christmas Eve game at FedEx Field that he suffered a torn ACL/MCL. Now he has come back this season in a big way. And while the defense will certainly have their hands full trying to stop him, their biggest challenge will be the threat Virginia native Percy Harvin poses. How do you prepare for a player who can do anything on offense? That's been the question bali cliff hotel so far this season, and a possible reason the Vikings have had so much success. The Redskins secondary has been a weak spot of the team this season, and have not had much success against teams with versatile players on offense.
The Redskins pass-rush has obviously not turned out to be what we had hoped for this year, due in large part to injuries. This has only made Kerrigan a better player. But he cannot be the entire bali cliff hotel pass-rush and guys like Jenkins and Cofield need to really step it up. Haslett has not been shy about making this point known, both to the players and the media. Hopefully this will provide the motivation they need to really get things going in this department.
Bye Bye Billy! With Billy Cundiff bali cliff hotel out of the picture (finally) Kai Forbath will get the opportunity to show us what he can do. All he has to do to be an improvement on Cundiff is manage a FG percentage better than 58.3%. Sound doable? Let's hope so.
For about as long as I can remember, I have practically bali cliff hotel lived for football season. Blessed (and/or cursed depending on how you look at it) with a blind and unconditional loyalty to the Redskins, I am patiently bali cliff hotel awaiting their long-overdue return to greatness. I am also working on coaching football, and since a young age have aspired to be the first female offensive coordinator in the NFL. God bless the burgundy and gold and forever HTTR :)

"[Roethlisberger] scrambles to create plays with his arm, not necessarily to run, but he scrambles to keep the passing plays alive," Kerrigan said. "He's as good as anybody in the league, not necessarily seeing the rush, but feeling the rush and being able to avoid it."

hotel flight car As of the time of publication, Robert Griffin III is still uncertain to start against the Vikings following hotel flight car last week's concussion. He is the key to the Redskins' playbook this season, and his absence will force major changes to the game plan.
Head coach Mike Shanahan is being cautious with Griffin hotel flight car III, bringing him along slowly and following NFL protocol on concussions. hotel flight car He has been coy in naming a replacement if Griffin III cannot suit up, stating hotel flight car his confidence hotel flight car in both Rex Grossman and Kirk Cousins . Grossman has yet to be active for a game this season, hotel flight car which Cousins filled in for Griffin III for the final 17 minutes last week.
Second-year quarterback Christian Ponder has developed nicely for the Vikings, hotel flight car indicated by their 4-1 start to the season. But the key to the Vikings' offense is the three-headed monster at running back, led by Adrian Peterson, Toby Gerhart and Percy Harvin.
Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett understands the importance of stopping the run and forcing the Vikings to rely on Ponder. Last season, the Redskins were able to hold Peterson and Harvin to 38 and 39 yards, respectively. Unfortunately, Gerhart gashed the defense for 109 yards on just 11 carries.
The Redskins hotel flight car front seven has improved in recent weeks, following the promotions of Jarvis Jenkins and Rob Jackson to the starting lineup. Both players have been quality run-stuffers so far, and will need to stay focused on Sunday. The Redskins offense can do a lot to help them out by scoring points early and forcing the Vikings to keep pace through the air. FEED FORTY-SIX LATE
Last week, Redskins running back Alfred Morris rumbled for his second-consecutive 100-yard performance, with 85 yards coming in the first half. If the Redskins want to beat the Vikings for the first time in three years, they will need a steady diet of Morris, especially late in the game.
Morris has the ability hotel flight car to match the Vikings rush production, but the Redskins should look to build an early lead. If the Redskins build a two score lead late in the third quarter, hotel flight car look for the Redskins to switch to a run-first attack and grind out the end of the game.
He also showed his ability to contribute as a receiver in the passing game, an opportunity that should be taken advantage of. On an offense loaded with playmaking talent, Morris is a scary runner with the ball in his hands. THIRD DOWN DOMINANCE
Last week against the Falcons, the Redskins got blown out in terms of time of possession, hotel flight car holding the ball for only 23 minutes. Part of this was the offense's inability to convert third downs (one-for-nine), and another was the defense's inability to keep the Falcons hotel flight car from converting on third down (nine-for-17).
hotel flight car Both Haslett and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan discussed how important it was to win the battle hotel flight car on third down. For the defense, it's an opportunity for the offense to get back on the field and score. For the offense, it's an opportunity for the defense to rest on the sideline and score more points.
