Coming into the three-game series against the Rams, Browns and Lions, I said that the team would stumble once and emerge at 6-2. If they can pull that off by beating the winless Lions, this team will be well-positioned in the NFC East.

But first let’s rewind to a couple things from yesterday’s game while we await coach Jim Zorn’s 12:25 p.m. press conference, which we’ll have for you here.

—Santana Moss is back in the offensive rhythm. He’s going to be hit or miss the way defenders key on him, but Jason Campbell really needs to make an effort to try to get the ball to him even in that coverage, as he did yesterday. When Moss is a threat, everybody benefits. Also worth noting: he now has 6,015 career receiving yards.

—Rock Cartwright came in to relieve Clinton Portis on plays, while Shaun Alexander did the relief for entire drives. Neither were overwhelmingly great but Cartwright was definitely the better of the two, which bodes well for his future touches.

—New punter Ryan Plackemeier certainly did fine in his first appearance with the team, and almost came away with an inside-the-five result on his first punt, but the Redskins were unable to corral the ball as it bounced their way. The only special teams snafu was on a field goal that would have given the team a 3-0 lead in the second quarter, which appeared to be a high snap.

—Today’s game story revolves around Carlos Rogers, who is quietly putting together a Pro Bowl year at the position. He draws the best assignments and then shuts those receivers down, as he did to Braylon Edwards yesterday.

Jason Campbell felt some tightness in his groin before the game, but played through it. That was the only major injury, and I’m sure we’ll get an update on it when Zorn takes the podium at 12:25.
