    Goal-line stand helps Redskins win in overtime (The SportsXchange)

    LANDOVER, Md. - The Washington Redskins nearly blew a 10-point lead in the final 6:59 of regulation time on Sunday. But they forced overtime with a goal-line stand in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, then beat the San Diego Chargers 30-24 when Darrel Young scored his third touchdown of the game on the Redskins' first possession of the extra period. Washington took the overtime kickoff and drove 78 yards in 10 plays, finishing off the game-winning drive when Young scored on a 4-yard run, with 8:59 remaining. "The way we won the game can be a turning point for us," said Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, whose team is 3-2 since a 0-3 start and trail NFC East-leading Dallas by two games.
