--RB Shaun Alexander was released, and the Redskins re-signed DT Ryan Boschetti. Alexander, the NFL MVP for Seattle in 2005, had just 24 yards on 11 carries and one catch for 9 yards in four games since being signed on Oct. 14. He didn't play in his return to Seattle last Sunday.

Boschetti was with Washington the past four years but got into just 19 games, making 15 tackles. He was one of the final cuts this summer.

--RDE Andre Carter is questionable for the Giants after injuring his right foot at Seattle.

--RDT Kedric Golston is questionable for the Giants after injuring his right ankle at Seattle.

--SLB Marcus Washington will miss a second consecutive game with a high ankle sprain suffered on Nov. 16 against Dallas.

--DT Anthony Montgomery is expected to return against the Giants after missing the past two games with a strained Achilles tendon suffered Nov. 3 against Pittsburgh.

REPORT CARD VS. SEAHAWKS

PASSING OFFENSE: B -- A strong finish followed an ugly start (two sacks and a fumble that LT Chris Samuels recovered). As the protection improved, QB Jason Campbell had time to spread the ball around with plenty of bootlegs and play-action. Six targets had at least two catches, with WR Santana Moss having the most yards (72), TE Chris Cooley the most receptions (five), WR Antwaan Randle El the touchdown and FB Mike Sellers and rookie WR Malcolm Kelly season highs in catches. Campbell was a solid 20-for-33 for 206 yards.

RUSHING OFFENSE: A-minus -- Clinton Portis, a game-time decision due to an aching knee, pounded away at the Seahawks for 143 yards on 29 carries to take back the NFL rushing lead from Minnesota's Adrian Peterson. The line did a good job of winning the battle in the trenches. Campbell had a couple of nice scrambles. No. 2 back Ladell Betts almost negated his first touchdown by fumbling at his own 22 with 1:28 left, but he was bailed out on the next play by CB Shawn Springs' interception.

PASS DEFENSE: B-plus -- With fellow CBs Carlos Rogers, Fred Smoot and DeAngelo Hall playing well, did the Redskins really need veteran Shawn Springs, who had missed four games with a torn calf muscle? Yes. Springs, beaten earlier by Bobby Engram for the catch that set up John Carlson's touchdown against rookie S Chris Horton, sealed the victory with an interception with 80 seconds left. S LaRon Landry also picked off Matt Hasselbeck, while DT Lorenzo Alexander and WLB Rocky McIntosh sacked the Seattle quarterback.

RUSH DEFENSE: C-minus -- A defense that came in fifth against the run was pulverized on the perimeter by non-descript Seahawks RB Maurice Morris. RDE Andre Carter and DT Kedric Golston eventually left with injuries, complicating life for a unit already minus SLB Marcus Washington and third DT Anthony Montgomery. MLB London Fletcher and DT Cornelius Griffin got banged up, too, but Alexander played well off the bench and even LDE Jason Taylor made a couple of plays.

SPECIAL TEAMS: C -- Washington came in with the NFC's top kickoff coverage unit, but Seattle's Josh Wilson had a 55-yard return and scared the Redskins a couple of other times, with K Shaun Suisham having to share in the tackle. Suisham kicked the winning 22-yard field goal and a 26-yarder, but he hit the crossbar from 43 yards out. P Ryan Plackemeier, who started the season with Seattle, had a bad day, averaging just 31.7 yards. Rock Cartwright averaged a superb 28 yards on kickoff returns, while Randle El had a 14-yard punt return.

COACHING: B-minus -- All week, coach Jim Zorn tried to play down the emotion of returning to Seattle, where had played or coached half of his adult life and where he's just one of 10 men to have his name engraved in the Seahawks' Ring of Honor. At halftime, it seemed that Zorn might have an unhappy return home, as the Redskins trailed 10-7, but he started calling the right plays in the third quarter, and his offense came to life. Washington improved to 6-2 in games decided by a touchdown or less, which can be viewed as a testament to its first-year leader.
