The Defense. They stopped a team that no one could stop. No, they DOMINATED the Saints offense. Brees didn't have time to throw, and he has the quickest release in football. Bush did nothing. McAllister was shut down. Carlos Rogers made a few HUGE game-saving plays. The D was stingy near the goal line too. I loved on one pass in the red zone to Colston where Springs took out the ball while Taylor took out Colston's body...incredible double-team.

It was the defense we've known for a few years...before this year. It was great to see them back.

However, the offensive line, even without Jansen DOMINATED the defense, Campbell was hardly touched or even rushed. Betts ran all over the D. Campbell looked like a star QB in all areas of his game. His throws were powerful and accurate, even at 50 yards and they were only catchable by Redskins.

The only bad things about Sunday was Lloyd's "losing the ball in the lights" play that would've been a TD on a great pass by Campbell and our inability to cash it in near the goal line. If Marcus Washington had been able to pull in that screen pass to Bush and scored...we could've won the game 35-10.

However...it was nice to see MADE field goals, even if the kickoffs still looked bad. (YOU CAN'T PUT KICKOFFS OUT OF BOUNDS...UNACCEPTABLE!)

Pretty much the whole team deserves the MVP award, but the Defense stood out the most.
