Redskins DE Adam Carriker, who has started every game this year, recorded his first solo sack Sunday. LB Rob Jackson, right, who was added to the roster last week, also recorded a sack.

hopes in front of an announced crowd of 63,470. Washington has failed to qual-


ify for the postseason for the ninth time in its 11 seasons under owner Daniel M. Snyder. But Redskins players said they were playing for pride and would con- tinue to fight. “Yeah, man, we don’t care


what’s goin’ on, the Redskins go out to try to win,” said outside linebacker Brian Orakpo, side- lined Sunday by hamstring and groin injuries. “You hear them [media commentators] say, ‘Red- skins can drop these two and get a top-five [draft] pick.’ Or they say, ‘The Redskins don’t need to be playing [starters].’ We ain’t worried about all that. Guys came out fighting hard, fighting with pride.” Barnes was playing for Reed


Doughty, who began the season as LaRon Landry’s backup at strong safety. Landry is on the season-ending injured reserve listwith an Achilles’ tendon inju- ry and Doughty was ruled out earlier in the week because of a concussion.Barnesmade his first career start alongside the recent- ly signed Victor “Macho” Harris, who started in place of free safety KareemMoore (knee). A former Maryland standout,


Barnes struggled formuch of the game.Hewhiffed trying to tackle Jaguars quarterback David Gar- rard, who rumbled 20 yards on a quarterback draw for a touch- down late in the fourth quarter. The extra point by Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee tied the score at 17. Barnes, however, recovered


nicely. The Jaguars elected to receive


on the first possession of over- time. On third and four from Jacksonville’s 17-yard line, the Redskins blitzed. In coverage against tight end Marcedes Lew- is, Barnes caught the ball at about Jacksonville’s 22 and re- turned it to the 14. Ryan Torain rushed twice for one yard before Gano’s kick ended the game. “Marcedes was fighting real


hard to get across my face to run his route,” Barnes said. “I was pretty sure he was determined to get the ball. . . I just made the play.” Barnes earned his starting op-


portunity by working hard dur- ing practice, “and he balled out, man, he balled out,” said corner- back and defensive co-captain DeAngelo Hall. “He made some mistakes, yeah, but at the end of the day, hemade up for it.” The temperature at game time


was 38 degrees — the coldest Jaguars home game in franchise history. The Redskins played without five defensive starters from their opening 53-man ros- ter, and starting right tackle Jammal Brown was listed among the inactives because of what he described as flu-like symptoms. Jacksonville star running back


Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) also was out. When play began Sun- day, Jones-Drew ranked second in the league in rushing with 1,324 yards. The Redskins jumped to a 10-0

lead in the first quarter onGano’s 48-yard field goal and quarter- back Rex Grossman’s one-yard touchdown pass to Fred Davis. Washington also put together a time-consuming drive that spanned the third and fourth quarters to take a 17-10 lead. CoachMike Shanahan decided


to go for a touchdown on fourth and goal from Jacksonville’s 1- yard line, and Torain (20 rushes, 65 yards) took a deep handoff from Grossman (182 yards, 60.0 passer rating) and propelled him- self into the end zone as if shot from a cannon. It was the Red- skins’ second-longest scoring drive of the season in both num- ber of plays and time off the


clock. Washington converted three


third-down attempts on the pos- session after failing on its first seven tries. Overall, the Redskins converted only 27 percent (4 of 15) of their third-down attempts. Top wideout Santana Moss


had another solid outing with five receptions for 85 yards.Moss has matched his personal-best total with 84 receptions this season and topped 1,000 yards receiving for the fourth time in his career. But the Redskins’ offense was


mostly ineffective after its strong showing in the second half of a 33-30 loss to Dallas in Week 15. The Jaguars outgained the Red-

skins in total net yards, 336-251, and the Redskins twice squan- dered leads. The Redskins, though, pre-


ferred to focus on the positives after six losses in their previous seven games — and Jackson was a bright spot. Amember ofWash- ington’s unproductive 2008 draft class, Jackson, formerly a defen- sive end, played in three games as a rookie and five last season. He failed tomake the opening-


day roster after being converted to an outside linebacker when Washington made the switch fromthe base 4-3 defense to a 3-4 scheme. Andre Carter started in place of Orakpo, but Jackson played and played well, the Red-


skins said. “He set the tone for his week


on Wednesday in practice,” said inside linebacker and defensive co-captain London Fletcher. The offensive line “couldn’t block him in practice and he carried it over to the game.” TheRedskins finish the season


Sunday against the New York Giants at FedEx Field. There’s one more chance for the Red- skins to win a football game this season, and players said that’s what they’ll work to do. “This team has a competitive


bunch of guys,” center Casey Rabach said. “And there ain’t no quit in us.”
