Maybe a couple years ago or even in the 90's you could say one play should not decide a game, but unfortunately with the closeness of all NFL games one play costs teams many of games. Each game in many cases we were one play away from winning and won and few we lost by one play. That is just the way it is.

The Bears are considered one of the elite teams, how many games have they won by one play, namely a person by the name of Hester. Cowboys lost to us by one play. ONE PLAY can be blamed when your talking wins and losses, but overall performance is out the door because many teams don't play consistenetly good week after week they have the one play go their way or against them.

In this case the D performance was the reason the Rams stayed in the game, Betts fumble lost us the game.

If i was going to go with one play that cost us the game...Betts fumble would be 2nd on my list. I'd have to go with the poor punt coverage in overtime..i think they returned it like 30 yards to our 40. Jackson really didn't have to score the TD....they really only had to move like ten yards and kick......this season has just been a typical redskin season.....just like the past 15 years or so....
