So the Redskins failed to score a touchdown yesterday but still managed to get the win.
From the second the game ended I have been wondering about how often that happens. Since it's still pretty annoying to sit at a computer desk with this sling on my arm I waited until today at work so I could get paid to look it up.
I mean it usually takes at least one 7 pointer to get the W in the NFL. Funny how going into the game the big Jim Zorn stat was all about how his offense had yet to score 30 points in a game. He then promptly goes out and can't even get double digits. Awesome.
(I'm now searching for the last time the 'Skins won a game w/o the aid of a touchdown.)
2005: Washington 9 Chicago 7
Well that's not too long ago. I should have remembered that. I was at that miserable game.
FedEx has been the location of three games ending 9-7 this decade. The 'Skins are 2-1 in such games. The lone loss resulted in Norv Turner's job.
(I'm now searching for the 2nd most recent time the 'Skins won a game w/o having to kick an extra point.)
1992: Washington 15 Minnesota 13
And that was on the road!
More nerdy stats: The last two times the Redskins won a game without scoring a touchdown they have gone on to not only make the playoffs, but to win a road playoff game. I'd be stunned if that stat held up this season.
I'd also like to point out that we are heading into Week 3 and Hunter Smith, the punter, is leading the team in rushing touchdowns.
That's awesome.
