I think a lot of it has to do with some unfortunate injuries, Harold. They really missed Clinton Portis for the first two weeks of the season, and he's played well for three straight weeks since his return. Not surprisingly, Washington is 2-1 with Portis and 0-2 without him. If he was fully healthy for the opener against the Vikings (10 carries, 39 yards), it's hard to think the outcome wouldn't have been different.
