Chaos ramps up for the Redskins

WASHINGTON -- As he prepares for what could be his final home game as a member of the Washington Redskins, quarterback Jason Campbell finds himself facing the unknown. The circumstances that have encircled the Redskins in the week before today's Dallas game are unlike any Campbell has seen in his five seasons. The distractions and discord came to a head in Monday's 45-12 loss to the Giants.

Reflecting on Monday's loss, the most lopsided since Jim Zorn took over as head coach, Campbell said: "It's a total of everything we've gone through all year long. All the uncertainty, different questions, distractions, everything just caught up with us in that one game."

Campbell came out of Monday's game questioning the effort of his teammates, saying some might have quit on the team.

While other players shied away from using the dreaded "Q" word - quitting is a serious felony in the NFL - they acknowledged that the effort in Monday's loss didn't match what the Redskins had put forth in the preceding weeks.

Zorn said he liked how players responded at practice Wednesday but won't know for certain whether they heeded his message about improving effort until today.

A loss to Dallas would mean the Redskins will finish 0-6 in the NFC East.

It would mark the first time since a 3-13 season in 1994 that the Redskins failed to beat a single division foe.
