We'll start with the good news because there's not much of it, and it shouldn't take too long: The Redskins scored points in the second quarter - a 48-yard field off the foot of Shaun Suisham (who's quietly having a good year). But they still trailed the Falcons 24-3 at the break. The bad news is they've lost their starting running back and temporarily lost quarterback Jason Campbell. Campbell was sacked five times in the first half and on the fifth, he didn't get up. He suffered a chest contusion and left the game for the Redskins' final offensive play of the half. He was replaced by Todd Collins but is expected to return for the second half. If Washington's horrid pass protection doesn't improve, you have to wonder how long he can last in there. The Falcons tied a team record for the most sacks in the first half
