"Did you notice? How could you not? At the end of regulation Sunday, when the Washington Redskins desperately needed a touchdown to send their game against the Dallas Cowboys into overtime, they were throwing the ball in the direction of Donte Stallworth and David Anderson and handing it off to Tashard Choice.

This is what it has come to for Mike and Kyle Shanahan, the Redskins' twin offensive oracles. They're trying to break a five-game losing streak by leaning on Stallworth (waived two weeks ago and then re-signed), Anderson (picked up around the same time as a street free agent) and Choice (an Oct. 31 waiver wire acquisition who was making his Washington debut).

And amazingly, the Redskins nearly did get back in the win column. Let's talk about that for a moment before returning to the gloom and doom of a 3-7 record and a 27-24 OT defeat. Let's talk about the Redskins, for the first time since their disastrous string of injuries started, not coming unraveled at the slightest hint of trouble and actually rallying from a 10-point deficit."
