"The Washington Redskins practice rushed field goals every week, and on a normal occasion they have no problem setting up and snapping the ball with room to spare.

Then there was Sunday, when a series of problems cost them dearly. First it was a headset malfunction, and then a series of unfortunate events, and the result was the clock hitting zeros instead of the Redskins cashing in on a valuable opportunity at the end of the first half.

"I don't know," quarterback Rex Grossman said. "I don't need to drill that point home: It was obviously mismanagement by the headset, myself and we couldn't get the field goal."

It was a fitting moment of incompetence for the Redskins in their season-ending 34-10 loss and a glaring episode in a season's worth of field goal follies that included five blocked attempts."
