Your weekly list of fun facts from the NFL media releases:
- Announcers: Your unofficial Redskins crew – Kenny Albert, Brian Baldinger with a new sideline guy, Rob Desir.
- Game time: 1pm on Fox (available in HD). Broadcast map here, as you can probably imagine this is only being broadcast in the local markets.
- Last Match-up: Washington 24 St.Louis 9. The Redskins rushed for 257 yards as a team and Clinton Portis scored 2 touchdowns.
- All the same fun facts about the Redskins: Campbell’s thrown a TD pass in every start, Betts rushes for a bunch of yards when he gets carries and Moss has a lot of yards since joining the Redskins.
- Brandon Lloyd has a catch of 25+ yards in 3 of his 4 last games against the Rams including 2 TDs.
- Andre Carter has 4.5 sacks in his career against the Rams and Carlos Rogers has an interception last year against the Rams.
- Marc Bulger is 23-8 as a starter in his career at home. You’ll recall that last year’s game was started by that Harvard QB.
- The Rams are 41-1 since 1995 when they’ve gotten a 100 yard rushing performance. Stephen Jackson leads the NFC with 1,916 yards from scrimmage.
- Torry Holt has 10 touchdowns in his last past 13 games. He’s 3rd in the NFC with 80 receptions and has over 100 receiving yards this season.
- This will be Dexter Coakley’s 18th career game against the Redskins. He’s 14-3 against the Skins thus far. Depressing.
Marcus Washington is listed as questionable this week, so all those asking for a better look at Rocky MacIntosh will probably get their wish. That’s it for me a few days. Enjoy the holidays and Merry Christmas.
Still getting local coverage, but it looks like this will be the last game we get this year (next week, it’s NFL Network time
)
This would be a GREAT game for Lloyd to show that he’s worth what we spent on him. I’d like to see a TD pass to him, Moss, and Randal-El this weekend… don’t count on it, of course, but would love to see it.
redskins always beat the rams.
some one tell dave the redskins lost again. Bad mix of players and couchs,when will it be fixed? No one knows
Gibbs is done. As we get older we tend to get more conservative. Gibbs is afraid of his own shadow with the play calling. He s ridiculos, the last 2 possesions he never threw the ball past the line of scrimmage. Unbelievable.
