EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Shaun Suisham tied a franchise record with his fifth field goal, a 46-yard kick with 7 minutes 43 seconds left in overtime, to give Washington a 23-20 victory over the New York Jets.
Clinton Portis had 196 yards and a touchdown in 36 carries as Washington (5-3) beat New York for the eighth time in nine meetings. The Redskins, who won their second overtime game of the season, had to erase a 14-point deficit.
The Jets (1-8) tied the score, 20-20, with 10 seconds left in regulation on Mike Nugent’s 30-yard field goal, but New York couldn’t do much after getting a 39-yard reception by Jerricho Cotchery to open the overtime.
Washington stuck to the ground on its first possession to get into field-goal position. Suisham, who also had kicks of 46, 40, 22 and 40 yards, nailed the winning kick.
Quoteworthy: “When you get an opportunity like that, you feel more like a football player.” -- Shaun Suisham, Redskins kicker
