Even with the Chargers resting key players for much of the game, the Redskins couldn't hold on for the win. Quarterback Jason Campbell was solid, going 28-of-42 for 281 yards and two touchdowns but the Chargers earned their 11th consecutive win with a late touchdown.

We've known since October that Jim Zorn was going to be fired, but it will likely become official Monday at Redskins Park. Zorn told reporters after Sunday's loss that he hoped to have a chance to put an offseason plan together, but obviously he's still in denial. All indications are that Mike Shanahan will take over the team and probably bring his son, Kyle, with him.

Malcolm Kelly led the Skins with five catches for 109 yards Sunday. He had an 84-yard catch and he showed new general manager Bruce Allen that he might be a bright spot in the future. Allen has acknowledged that it will be impossible to rebuild this team through free agency because of the looming uncapped season. But the Skins have enough draft picks where they could try to head in the right direction.

If Shanahan is indeed the choice, he'll quickly begin evaluating the team's "talent." The Redskins need offensive linemen and they'll likely need more pieces in the secondary. This will not be an easy transition, but Shanahan will obviously have a lot more pedigree than Zorn.
