Gibbs concocts simple formula
"There was nothing fancy. Washington ran 35 times for 118 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Jason Campbell completed 23 of 29 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. His passer rating for the game was 125.3.
Lions cornerback Fernando Bryant thought it was a vintage Gibbs game plan.
'They did what they do well,' Bryant said. 'We didn't get them out of their comfort zone.'
'
Joe Gibbs' game plan against you is to grind you. He's going to run the ball. He's going to protect the ball. He's going to be safe and secure in his throws.'"
Guess nobody told Fernando that JG didn't make the game plan. <- Sarcasm font.
