Hail yeah! The Skins won at home in a manner that chased away some of the ghosts haunting this team's recent history - they came from behind against a strong opponent and won a close game by gutting it out. On a day when Dallas reminded us that bad teams find creative ways to lose, Washington found a way to win. This game was certainly not pretty, especially in the first half, but the Skins made some adjustments and hit Green Bay in the mouth over and over, until they were decimated. By the end of the game, the Packers D had that disinterested hands-on-hips stance between plays that shows that they had resigned themselves to losing, and Washington seized the opportunity. A good day for Redskins nation, and while this is exactly the type of game that can't be accurately reflected in statistics, I'll stick to the plan and drop a STATSBOMB:
