2nd Half:
-Running the Football: The Redskins offense was making passes in crucial situations, but the running game was consistent throughout the day, accounting for the first three touchdowns.
-Lack of Pressure: Phillip Rivers only took 1 sack through the first 4 quarters. And took one shot that resulted in an incomplete pass.
-Darrell Young: A three-touchdown day for Young helped the Redskins win this game in overtime.
