Late in the half, McNabb spotted Fred Davis wide open in the left flat, and the tight end rambled to the 1 - another 62-yard gain. Portis got his second 1-yard score two plays later, sending the Redskins to the locker room with a 20-7 lead. An example of how tepid Washington's offense has been lately: The 20 points by the team is the most in any half by the team since 2007.

McNabb led a superb third-quarter, 92-yard drive with a statistical fluke thrown in. He went 6 for 7, with completions to six different receivers, for 101 yards - made possible because of a sack and a penalty that moved the Redskins back. He capped it by hitting Chris Cooley for a 22-yard score to give Washington a 27-10 lead.

But Schaub brought the Texans back. A third-and-15 short pass to Foster went for 50 yards, setting up a 6-yard touchdown pass to Walter on last play of the third quarter to cut the Redskins' lead to 27-17. A 35-yard completion to Walter led to a 43-yard field goal by Rackers with 11:10 to go to make the score 27-20.
