Redskins vs. Bears: DeAngelo Hall's Four Interceptions Steal Washington a Win

Filed under: , , ,

DeAngelo HallWashington Redskins' cornerback DeAngelo Hall and defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth both went to two Pro Bowls before coming to Washington in a span of less than four months in late 2008 and early 2009. Each also comes with receiver-like "It's all about me" baggage.

Hall pops-off frequently and is an admitted gambler on the field, often playing the ball and not the man, making for big plays for him and for the opposition.

Haynesworth didn't play hard all the time during the first season of his $100 million contract, which the Redskins gave him to leave Tennessee, and he blew off the entire offseason, making him a backup and the object of scorn of new Washington coach Mike Shanahan.

However, on Sunday in Chicago, Hall intercepted an astounding four Jay Cutler passes in the second half, returning the second 92 yards to give Washington a wild 17-14 victory. Hall's four picks tied an NFL record as the Redskins improved to 4-3 and dropped the Bears to 4-3.
