The Washington Redskins added onto an NFL record during their 14-11 win over the Cleveland Browns today. They set the record last week but just learned about it today.According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Redskins have now thrown 332 pass attempts without an interception, dating back to last year.That's quite impressive once you remember that, during the streak, the Redskins have undergone a coaching change, a new offensive system, and includes passes thrown by Antwaan Randle-El and Clinton Portis. Also remember that Todd Collins began the streak last season when he took over for an injured Jason Campbell.
That beats out the previous NFL mark of 281, set by the Oakland Raiders in 2002.
The breakdown of pass attempts during the streak: Campbell (224), Collins (105), Randle-El (2) and Portis (1).
Campbell's 224 straight pass attempts without a pick is the Redskins' franchise record.

Kudos to the Skins for not beating themselves this year (with the exception of the Rams game). Keep it up, Skins!

Several reasons why Cambell has yet to throw a interception. 1. Now that Cambell has his share of games under his belt experience tells him when to run, take a dive or just throw it into the cheap seats. 2. With Portis running like he has this enables the passing game to open up. 3. Lets face it Cambell is a tall quarteback with a cannon for a arm. This gives Cambell the vision a quarterback needs to locate and gun the ball to a open reciever.
