Victory doesn't change anything - Sports - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

After the Washington Redskins evened their record at 2-2 with a dramatic overtime victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars last month, feelings of exhilaration, relief and optimism filled Redskin Park the next day.
The Redskins promptly wasted that momentum by losing their next three games.
On Sunday, the Redskins moved to 3-5 with a thrilling win over the Dallas Cowboys. But the difference between the post-Jaguars Monday and the post-Cowboys Monday were striking.
There was no exhilaration yesterday because the Redskins are still below .500.
There was little relief because the defense allowed 378 yards and 10 third-down conversions.
And there was minimal optimism because the offense halfway through the season remains a work in progress.
"In any sport, if you can get momentum, it can work well for you and definitely give you confidence to keep on rolling," center Casey Rabach said. "But our backs are still against the wall because we didn't expect to be at this point."
