As Exhibitions Go...

Anyone catch that game last night?

If not, the final was Redskins 30, Colts 16. It was mildly entertaining at times, which is really all you can ask of the preseason. No Peyton Manning or Jason Taylor, though Taylor was at least available for an interview with Adam Schefter on the sideline.

Sixth-round rookie Colt Brennan (9-of-10 passing, 123 yards, 2 TD) played extremely well for the Redskins, and before you denounce his numbers for coming against third-stringers, you should note that the Colts' Jared Lorenzen (12-of-21 passing, 93 yards, 1 INT) fared much worse against similar competition. Based on that performance, don't expect Lorenzen to be a Colt very long.

Not sure what this means, but the Redskins are now 5-0 in the Hall of Fame Game. They also won the event in 1965, 1975, 1989, and 2004. They made the playoffs in none of those previous seasons, but finished with winning records in '75 (8-6) and '89 (10-6).
