DC Sports Bog: Redskins-Cowboys best and worst

(Via @recordsANDradio)

Best and worst moments fromWashingtons 44-17 season-ending loss to the Cowboys at FedEx Field.

Worst embarrassment: The Cowboys were trying to run the clock out as the season expired. Instead they wound up with a 65-yard touchdown run from a backup running back as the visiting fans stood and cheered. Thats a rotten way to go.

Worst rut: The Redskins went 7-25 over the past two seasons. That equals their worst back-to-back stretch since the NFL schedule expanded to 16 games, a feat achieved just once, from 1993-1994.

Worst turnovers: Washington turned it over four times, and got one turnover back. For the season, Washington turned it over 31 times, and got 19 turnovers bad. Thats terrible.

Worst debut: Jay Gruden finished his first season 4-12. Thats worse than Mike Shanahan (6-10), worse than Jim Zorn (8-8), worse than Joe Gibbs II (6-10), worse than Steve Spurrier (7-9), and worse than Marty Schottenheimer (8-8). That makes this the worst coaching debut in the Dan Snyder era.

Worst quote: The first half was as bad as weve seen around here for a long time, Jay Gruden said, when asked about his defense.

Worst cheers: Probably those Lets Go Cowboys chants that were audible on Foxs broadcast several times on Sunday.

Worst stat: This one, from Boz:

Worst defense: The Cowboys had well over 200 yards of offense. In the first quarter. With virtually nothing to play for. Against a defensive coordinator that supposedly had their number. After the second quarter, they kind of stopped scoring, and the game was whatever, but when the Cowboys really wanted to score, the Redskins appeared helpless at best.
