Noteworthy:
The 27 points by the Redskins was the most that they have scored since week 2 of 2008… Jason Campbell was a perfect 9 of 9 in the second half… Suisham is now 12-for-12 on field goals the season… Broncos failed to capitalize on WR Brandon Marshall catching 40- and 75-yard touchdowns on Denver’s first two possessions…
