 ST. LOUIS (AP) - There was no miracle comeback this week for the St. Louis Rams' rookie quarterback from Harvard. The Washington Redskins' defense saw to that.
Clinton Portis ran for 136 yards on 27 carries with a pair of touchdowns and the Redskins made Ryan Fitzpatrick run for his life in a 24-9 victory on Sunday that snapped Washington's three-game losing streak.
The Redskins kept alive faint playoff hopes after losing the previous three games by a total of 10 points, and likely knocked the Rams (5-7) from the field of also-ran hopefuls. St. Louis is an NFL-best 42-12 at home since 1999, but a pedestrian 3-3 this year.
