The Hog Sty

A big win over the Pittsburgh Stealers. What are Washington's playoff chances? What does Alex Smith mean for this team?

Washington gets a huge win on Monday night vs an undefeated Stealers team. This is probably the biggest win they've had in a few seasons. The defense held things together for an offense that took some time to find its rhythm. But Washington comes back down 14 points to rally to a 23-17 victory.
