Jason Campbell couldn't miss, the defensive line looked like a wrecking crew, Carlos Rogers actually intercepted a pass (and returned it for a touchdown!), and Baby Jesus announced his preference for Joe Gibbs over Jon Kitna in a beating of the Detroit Lions so savage that Daniel Snyder had plenty of free time to stop worrying about the state of his football team, and start worrying about how the rides from his terrible theme parks have developed a taste for human blood.

The final score was 34-3, marking a complete turnaround from the team that flopped and fizzled their way through the second half of the New York Giant's game. The offense was crisp behind a scintillating performance from the Savior, who went 23/29 for 248 yards, completing passes to eight different receivers (including Brandon Lloyd, who'll probably watch the game highlight of his first and only catch of the 2007 the way Oliver Stone watched the Zapruder film). Clinton Portis added 72 yards on the ground; the team as a whole rushed for 118 yards. And where our offensive line was effortlessly keeping Campbell upright and unsullied, their counterparts on the Detroit side were doing their best imitation of light, flaky, fluffy French pastry: Kitna got sacked five times--once for a safety--and he was basically in the teeth of pursuit the entire game.

All that said, the Prettiest Redskin yesterday was Mike Sellers, who basically spent the entire afternoon pwning whatever Detroit Lion happened to cross his path. Sellers caught one touchdown pass, dragged three Detroiters into the endzone with him on another touchdown run, and more or less flattened every poor SOB who happened to cross his path. Check out this video of Lions' safety Kenoy Kennedy getting his ass introduced to Sellers' competitive new dental plan.

'Twas a full and satisfying win. Even so, enthusiasm should be tempered. Not only have the Lions have been a historical bitchling for Washington (Gibbs is, like, 12-0 against them, and I'm pretty sure even Norvous Turner beat them at least once), but after going nuts the first half, WR Antwaan Randle-El injured his hamstring and sat out the second half. Depending on how slowly he and the already ailing Santana Moss heal, Campbell might be headed to Lambeau Field next week with a vastly depleted receiving corps. For the moment, though, we're 3-1, and the agonies of the end of that Giants game have been forgotten.
