Looking At Jason Campbell’s History Against Dick LeBeau

This Sunday, QB Jason Campbell will face Dick LeBeau’s defense for the third time in his career. So far, the score is Steelers Defense- 2, Campbell- 0. The first meeting was when Campbell was the Redskins quarterback during week 9 of 2008. The game was in Washington, and coincidentally, the only player to score for the Redskins that day was Shaun Suisham. Campbell was sacked twice that night, threw for 206 yards, and two interceptions. The Steelers won 23-6. Campbell played well that season up until that game.

The second time Campbell faced the Steelers defense was week 11 of 2010. Campbell was the Raiders quarterback then, and the game was at Heinz field. His performance that day was so bad that he was benched in the 3rd quarter and Bruce Gradkowski replaced him for the remainder of the game. Campbell was sacked 6 times, threw for 70 yards, and had 2 passes intercepted.

You probably remember that game as it was the one where Richard Seymour punched Ben Roethlisberger in the face.

Back to Campbell, he’s coming off a pretty bad performance last week, where he had 3 interceptions against the Bengals. The Browns will hope to establish the run game early and not have to win on Campbell’s arm. This Sunday, the forecast in Cleveland is windy, with gusts up to 25 mph and wind chill in the single digits and teens. It’s certainly a good recipe for a 3rd W in the LeBeau column.
