Jim Zorn got his career as Washington coach off to a winning start with a 30-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL's Hall of Fame game.

Rookie quarterback Colt Brennan threw two touchdown passes in the second half for the Redskins and was nearly flawless.

The former Hawaii quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist was 9-of-10 for 123 yards with two touchdowns and a near perfect quarterback rating of 157.5.

Jason Campbell hit Antwaan Randle El for an early touchdown, while Brennan's two TD passes were to Maurice Mann and Marcus Mason. With just under two minutes remaining, Matterral Richardson returned an interception 38 yards to score.

For Indianapolis, Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals and Quinn Gray hit Onrea Jones for a second-quarter touchdown.

The Colts were without seven starters, including injured two-time league MVP Peyton Manning, and 2007 defensive player of the year Bob Sanders.

The win for the Redskins was a fitting tribute to former stars Art Monk and Darrell Green, who were inducted into the Hall of Fame along with former Kansas City cornerback and Redskins assistant coach Emmitt Thomas on Saturday.

Washington are now 5-0 in Hall of Fame games.
