short pass to randle el. he had 25 yards after that catch. 38-yard game total. randle el said he was upset not being named a starter, but he knew he would play a lot. >> my whole focus is to play for god not man. knowing god is going to bless me and put me where i need to be. >> seven catches for 98 yards is what antoine randle el had. six of those seven catches led to first down for redskins. the question is how much are they going to be able to go to antoine randle el? how much of an impact co-make in this system? redskins are looking for bigger things when they face the rams on sunday. back out here at the sneaker ball, we are expecting a lot of athletes. it's early for that. chris cooley will be here, george mcphee as well as alexander ovechkin when he gets out of traffic on constitution avenue. >> you mentioned that game last night. if i were a buffalo bill, i would be feeling really, really bad this morning. if i'm not mistaken, weren't they up by 20 some points with 2:11 or something like that left to play? >> they were up by a big chunk. you've got to be

still in the first half, jason campbell finds antwaan randle el. antwaan randle el had a really nice game and he was one of the leading scorers. that led to a field goal. a fake field goal. no, look, here we go! hunter smith, hunter smith into the end zone. he did it once as a colt in 2003. redskins are in the end zone and everyone says nice call, zorn, nice call. second half, eli manning has his pass timid, intercepted by deangelo hall. that led to a field goal. giants up 17-10 after three. 4th quarter, skins down 23-10, but campbell with a nice pass to chris cooley. 17 yards for he score. cooley had seven catches for 68 yards and the touchdown. skins down only six after the extra point. andredskins fall 23-17 at the meadowlands. jason campbell, say what you well, 19 of 26, a touchdown, an int. 462 yards but most of them came on that one big run. so they go to the meadowlands, second straight year. they lose for the second straight year. jim zorn, what do you have? >> i can tell you that we have a very good football team. i'm very impressed with s

also antoine randle el makg a big impact for the redskins.

wide receiver, antwon randle el will be the quarterback on sunday, which isn't a bad option. randle el was the starting quarterback at indiana and he thrown five touchdowns in the nfl, including one in the super bowl. >> i hate to say it with a smile, but i'm good. >> you no i, i don't wish anything on my boys, but if it happens, i'll be ready to go. >> i love his attitude. from a receiving standpoint, randle el will be in the slot. >>> soccer and six games are left in the season for dc united. the first of those tonight at home against the wizards. united needs to make a run to get into the playoffs. two of their top defenders are out with injury. mack birch is having ankle surgery. move clyde similars who is a mid fielder back to play defense. not ideal. >> i think if 11 guys go out again and do their job and put the work in, you expect three points. anything short of that is disappointing. we don't want to dwell on one player, we want to make sure we have a good overall defensive performance. >> the top double team, the american number ones bounced in the semis by washingt

now he replaces antwaan randle el in the lineup. he literally got everything that came his way. one coach told me kelly already has the best hands on the entire team. you can see that throughout the preseason. zorn said this is what he was hoping to see during kelly's rookie season last year. kelly was limited toive games because of injuries. as for winning the starting job, kelly says it's great, but he knows there will be plenty of balls to go around. >> it means a lot. i look at it like football. it's a game. whoever is number two, we are going to make plays on the football field. whether it's him, me or somebody else, we are all going to play. i don't look too much into this. it's an opponent, a real good opponent. we have to bring our a-game to win. >> you can't cover malcolm one-on-one. the teams are going to realize real quick in the season. as long as he's healthy, it's impossible to cover him one-on-one. i think his hands are unreal. of course people want to double santana. when you double santana, you drop an eighth man in the box. now we've got the opportunity to hurt

he fires it to antoine randle el, a great read over the middle. randle el with a great catch, good for a 24-yard pickup. it would lead to a field goal, though. skins up 9-7. in the end, the redskins would need a big stop from its defense. last chance from the rams. marc bulger drops back, airs it out. but chris horton breaks up the pass, seals the win. the redskins hang on to win 9-7. jim zorn said after the game his team is makingteps in the right direction. >> when we walked into the locker room, the redskin locker room, it was quiet. we, we knew that we under -- that we underperformed in areas, but we were really good in a lot. and so, you know, i think our guys were looking around going, hey, wait a minute, we won. >> jim zorn and the redskins did suffer a loss in yesterday's game starting right guard randy thomas was injured in the second quarter, suffering a torn right tricep. he will undergo an mri today and it's likely he will miss the entire season. we will have the complete update as well as more coverage from yesterday's game coming up

antwaan randle el in philadelphia. when you've got a tight end capable of the numbers cooley can put up your starting quarterback better get in the ball in the end zone. >>> sort of a season we didn't connect on a touchdown pass. i don't think we will have any problem with that throughout this year and i will just look for a successful season between the two of us throughout the year. >> i have to do a better job scheming to get him the ball. we tried much that's all i can tellyou. >> meanwhile college football and maryland men open their season in college park just 24 hours from now although the terps are likely counting down the minutes which have ticked by seemingly slow since the opener last saturday. hosting james madison tomorrow. favouring an acc team. but in week 1 two teams took them down. james madison went to the college football subdivision final 4. >> it is a very dangerous team coming in here. they will be fired up. you all know what happened to duke and virginia. we need to be ready. i think our kids are

he hits antwaan randle el over the middle for a catch. good for a 24-yard pick up and the skins are up 9-7. in the end, they would need a big stop from the defense. last chance for the rams and mark bolger steps up and gets it to the receiver. number 48, chris horton breaks it up and steals the victory. the rekins squeak out a 9-7 victory. jim zorn said, this was a tough one. >> when we walked into the redskin locker room, it was quiet. we knew that we o underperformed in areas but we were really good in a lot. so, you know, i think our guys were looking around saying, hey, wait a minute, we won. >> like i said, there's some injury news to report. jason campbell a sprained left ankle. there's season-eending injury news for the offensive line we'll talk to later. lindsay, thank you. >>> today's game was the first time fans had to deal with new rules at fedex stadium. tailgaters are restricted as to where they can set up their party. no matter when they get there, those who need more than one spot are shuttled to the back of the parking lot

santanna moss gets it back to antwaan randle el and that's it. the lyons beat the redskins, 19-14, their first win since 2007. jim zorn, do you have an explanation? >> i never really thought about the streak. when you watch this team on video, their capable of any other team in the national football league and we are, as well. i think that the disappointing thing was a loss, not to a team that had that record. >> here's what i would say to that and what most redskins fans say to that. that's not just another loss. this has bigger ramificationtion than jim zorn may think because losing to the detroit lions inexcusable. bottom line. >> we'll talk more about it in a few ments. >> meanwhile a lost team in football as you might imagine, not sitting too well with the redskins fans. we call up to these folks at espn in northwest d.c. and they told us what the problem is. >> zorn is questionable on his play calls. he should have taken the field goal instead of fourth down. the lack of confidence from the team. >> another example of, in my opinion how the

but the skins would reclaim it in the 3rd jason campbell who had a pretty solid day throws to randle elice pass, nice catch. 24 yards. set up a field goal. third of the day. skins lead 9-7. rams never got anything going after that fortunately. a field goal to win the game. albert haynesworth deflected that pass and that was it. a two-point win for the skins in the home opener but no style points. >> it is the scoring that is frustrating. it is the scoring and fortunately we got a kicker that is making plays because we need every point we can get right now. but we are not going to stay there. >> we are out there trying to make plays. not like we are giving effort. it is the small things we have to pay attention to to make sure we get into a rhythm and we have to score. >> it could have been worse. actually, it was. we will tell you about the redskins starter lost for the season today plus for reaction from coach zorn and the players analysis from brian mitchell when we join you with sports plus right after this newscast. bruce? >> okay, looking forward to it. >>> here's what the fans had

it is a pass to santana who gets it to randle el who tosses it to bets who runs out of time.50 days. 19-14 over the skins. >> not many words to say yet. we talked about going into this week, we did not treat this team lightly. >> >> we just have to bounce back. take our hats off to them. they had a good plan. they beat us. >> the sense of urgency is more than it has ever been if you think about it. you don't ever want to be in this position but we really got to push each other now. we really got to find a way to get this thing turned around get it turned around quickly. >> the loss drops the skins to 1-2. next up the buckaneers. winless on the season. a little later we will break down the game more and much more reaction from the locker room. >> thank you. >>> what are the fans saying tonight about the loss today? >> honestly? i'm a true redskins fan but our quarterback i feel like is lacking on our plays. >> why not one today. you know what i mean? >> it is bad penalties. it is lack of execution at critical times. >> see next game. it will be better. >> they need to get rid

giants took away everything except chris cooley and antoine randle el. those two combined for 14 out of jason campbell's 19 completions. nothing wrong with them, but to open things up, jim zorn knows they need to get the ball to santana moss. moss had two catches for a scant six yards. he was a nonfactor against the giants. generally, when moss gets rolling, so does the offense. you can say he's like the redskins' cold medicine. >> sure i would like to have the ball earlier, once or twice here and there. that builds your morale and were confidence. you can go out and be a complete player. what i do most of the time when i'm not getting the ball is find something to do. make sure i'm doing my job, get in the right area make sure i'm the key guy when it comes to somebody else getting open. >> part of getting all these guys open is to get them in better positions and then try to compete for that single coverage. sometimes we get it and sometimes we don't. >> that was jim zorn. coming up saturday night at 7:00, right here on nbc 4, week two of redskins showt

but you did see it from a guy like antwaan randle el. know from his pittsburgh days this is a guy they keep trying to move out of the starting lineup and they did yesterday and started malcolm kelly. yet he almost had 100 yards receiving. if you're not getting it from santana and the young guys, this offense is really going to spurt and it did yesterday mightily against the giants. second year in a row, you cannot fall behind 16-0, 17-0 and expect to win on the roads against a really good team like the giants. >> no, but you can beat a team like the rams or the lions, the next opponents for the redskins. do you change anything or just go in thinking hey, we're going to win playing the same way we've been playing. >> reporter: i felt like we were hearing from the first george bush in office yesterday because everybody wassaying stay the course, stay the course. i felt like jason campbell was saying there's no need to panic. jim zorn seems for some reason very optimistic. he was not upset at all with the effort that they put out there. may
