Jason Campbell Benched in Loss

The Washington Redskins spent Sunday in a ~~boring~~ heated ~~waste of HD~~ battle against the Kansas City Chiefs, and when Washington finally got a "sign of life" from their offense and scored its first points, it was Todd Collins leading the team down the field after Jason Campbell was benched.

Unfortunately for the Redskins, the good mojo didn't last very long -- Kansas City scored 11 unanswered points for a 14-6 win.

Campbell's been embarrassingly bad most of the season and was pretty awful most of today, going 9 of 16 for 89 yards and one interception. So there's the whole "performance on the field" factor that contributed to Zorn pulling his much-maligned signal-caller.

And there was also the more pressing issue: winning this game. Zorn knows that he's probably not long for DC, regardless of how quickly he can turn the 'Skins around, but giving the Chiefs their first win of the season -- one week after giving the Panthers their first win of the season -- probably put the final stamp on his exit. Using Collins was a last-gasp.

Clinton Portis also sat out early in the second half with an ankle injury, but lobbied Zorn to put him back in the game. Portis then ripped off his longest run as a Redskin, 78 yards, to set up a field goal.

Who knows where the Redskins go from here -- Collins finished 6 of 14 for 75 yards and took a safety, while Campbell wound up 9 of 16 for 89 yards and an interception.

But, hey, on the bright side, if you were a Redskins fan watching this ill-formed excuse of a football game at FedEx, you're at least probably got paid to do so!
