Redskins get a win, but look ugly doing it

Published Oct. 5, 2009 12:44 a.m. ET

The Washington Redskins were booed off the field again, down 10 points at halftime to a winless team. In the third quarter, they found some of the energy, life and momentum missing all season.

Jason Campbell made up for a pair of first-half interceptions with two second-half touchdowns, and the Redskins scored on three straight possessions for the first time this season Sunday in a 16-13 win over Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Washington staved off the sky-is-falling talk in the nation's capital for at least one more week.

Losing 10-0 after a first half in which fan discontent rose to a new level, the Redskins (2-2) started their rally when DeAngelo Hall intercepted a pass from second-year quarterback Josh Johnson, making his first NFL start. Washington converted the turnover into a field goal, but Campbell hit Chris Cooley for a 17-yard touchdown and Santana Moss for a 59-yard score on the next two series.
