Spurrier wins to coach next week
— -- LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Steve Spurrier benched himself, and it worked. The Washington Redskins' coach let someone else call the plays for a change -- a radical departure from his two decades of offensive genius -- and the result was a 27-20 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and the end of a four-game losing streak. #inlinetable {font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; line-height: 14px; background-color:#000000; border:none;} #inlinetable A {color: #000000; text-decoration:none;} #inlinetable A:hover {color: #000000; text-decoration:underline;} #inlinetable th {font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #ffffff; font-weight:bold; background-color:#000000; text-align:left;} #inlinetable th A {color: #ffffff;} #inlinetable td {font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background-color:#ececec;} #inlinetable td A {color: #000000;}
| Allen's Analysis | ||
|---|---|---|
I can't believe the Seahawks lost this game. This team has been inconsistent all season and terrible on the road with a 1-3 record. They have four road games remaining and need to turn their road woes around if they want to make the playoffs. Question on the Redskins: Will this win lessen some of the tension in D.C.? |
Winning is one of the great cure-alls. The Redskins did a great job playing well against a team that most felt was its superior. The 'Skins played very good defense and kept pressure on Matt Hasselbeck.
Eric Allen played cornerback for 14 NFL seasons with the Eagles, Saints and Raiders.
Game notes
Smith did not start for the second straight week, but got one sack to move within one-half sack of tying Reggie White's all-time record. ... The Redskins, one of the most penalized teams in the NFL, committed a season-low four penalties. ... Washington S Matt Bowen left the game early with a concussion.
