Denver led Washington 17-14 when
Chris Simms replaced
Kyle Orton at quarterback, after Orton injured his ankle on the final offensive play of the first half. The
Broncos picked up just three first downs the rest of the game, and the
Redskins rallied for a 27-17 victory.
Simms, seeing his first meaningful action since suffering a serious spleen injury in 2006, completed just 3 of 13 passes and threw a very costly interception.
Denver has now lost three straight games since starting the season 6-0.

The
Washington Redskins don't have much going well for them this season (see:
the current state of stadium signage). But, they have at least had a few bright moments on the year -- including wins over Tampa Bay and St. Louis!
Or, if you want to be less sarcastic, the awesomeness that is
Hunter Smith, punter,
scoring touchdowns on fake kicks.
Sunday, as the 'Skins struggled against comprehending football and/or guarding
Brandon Marshall, Smith was the bright spot again, taking a fake field goal and heaving it for a TD pass. I might add it was a pretty freaking awesome pass, too. Scope the vid,
via Fansided, after the jump.

Dan Snyder, in making absolutely sure that no one was aware how horrible a job he was doing with the Redskins,
recently banned signs from FedEx Field under the pretense of "safety." Local media -- particularly Dan Steinberg -- and fans were outraged (the latter so mad they even
drove to Atlanta to protest) ... and rightly so.
It appears now, too, that their effort was worth it -- Snyder and the Redskins announced today that they were reversing the sign policy at FedEx Field.

Zebra Report is FanHouse's analysis of actual NFL rules and how they are to be applied ... because most fans think they could do a better job than the NFL officials, yet definitely could not. Click here for an introduction as to how we do things. This past week of
NFL play was relatively quiet in terms of complaints about the officiating. Note I said "relatively," because there are always a bevy of complaints -- many warranted and many ridiculously unwarranted. We know that. Regardless, we're still here to sift through some of the more intriguing rules-type interpretations, so let's dive in.

Larry Johnson had
been a free agent for all of a few hours Monday when it was reported that the
Washington Redskins might have some interest in signing the ex-Chief.
Which, really, shouldn't come as a surprise -- mainly because
Clinton Portis is injured with a concussion and considered questionable for Sunday's game ... actually, you know what? Check that -- the
Redskins are interested in Johnson because he's a big name, he's available on the market and signing him would generate some "buzz," which is something that Dan Snyder is quite fond of.

ATLANTA -- When the
NFL schedule came out at the beginning of the year, the
Washington Redskins game at the
Atlanta Falcons wasn't necessarily a matchup you expected to be volatile. But
DeAngelo Hall sure did.
Hall, who spent the first four seasons of his career playing in Atlanta, did a lot of trash-talking this week. He claimed that
Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff lied to him on multiple occasions regarding roster issues, and he dared the Falcons to make him a target this week -- since he knew they probably would anyway.
Was there any doubt that if a skirmish broke out between the two teams that Hall would be involved?
