Redskins 25, Lions 17
DETROIT -- Santana Moss dashed Detroit’s hopes of finally winning a game.
Moss had a go-ahead touchdown reception in the third quarter and returned a punt for another score in the fourth, lifting the Washington Redskins to a 25-17 victory over the Lions (0-7).
Jason Campbell threw for 328 yards and a touchdown, connecting with Moss nine times for 140 yards for the Redskins (6-2).
Clinton Portis joined O.J. Simpson in the NFL record book with his fifth straight game of at least 120 yards rushing. Shaun Suisham kicked four field goals, including a 42-yarder with 1:56 to go that put Washington ahead by eight points.
Quoteworthy: “I don’t deal in couch therapy. I’ll never do that. I’m going to go back and coach them.” -- Rod Marinelli, Lions coach
