alfred morris. i got a couple on my list but i would say alfred morris. he ran well. the cowboys were dead last in stopping the run. it takes no eyewitness news stein to figure that out. you run the football. >> it was a great 200 yards there. of course, he set the rushing record by a redskin, overlapping -- or topping, i should say, clinton portis' record but also the redskins set a rushing franchise record for a season as well. donna, who would you say? >> i say what darrell said. tony romo, we are who we thought you were two picks, one to seal the game. we know that defense was all over him. he really showed that he's up and down, and he can't handle the pressure. great to see. i think dave owens said rgiii didn't have a great game, but the quarterback's job is to put your team in position to win there. that standpoint, he did have a great game. he made good decisions even though he didn't have the big numbers that we expect from him. >> the story of this game and this season has been rookie for the redskins. obviously today we realized that we were looking at the

be on the line next week against the cowboys, but a pretty remarkable record might be broken as alfred morris gets closer to the rushing record. today morris carried the ball 22 times for 91 yards including a crucial 10-yard touchdown run in the 3rd quarter, his 10th rushing td of the year. the sixth round rookie sits just 104 yards shy of holding the mantle. he has run at least 113 yards in the game on six different occasions. so it's attainal, but morris doesn't seem too phased -- attainable, but morris doesn't seem too amazed by it. >> being drafted in the sixth round and shouldn't have been drafted, it's coming from where i came from. it's underdogs everywhere. to break that record it wouldn't be enough for me. it would be for underdogs everyone and for everyone that wants to do this but are not able to for whatever reason and i'm just glad i'm able to represent the underdogs on such a huge level. >>> how about kicker kai forbath? he drove another two field goals today, one from 45 yards out, the other from 42. he's now a perfect 17-17 since joining the team back in week six breaking garr
