The Redskins did everything they needed to in order to pick up the preseason win at home.

Washington Redskins 1st team, did a satisfactory job with the Patriots 1st teamers. The offense was able to move down the field on their first possession and get a field goal. The defense was not able to contain the Patriots running game. Steve Riddley and the back-ups were able to have their way with the defense. Robert Griffin III, spoke right before half-time and said "It feels great to be out on the field with my teammates. There is a lot that we need to improve on before the season begins, so this is why we have preseason."

Second stringers began the second half with Kirk Cousins behind the center. Cousins started off shaky but, wound up connecting with Santana Moss in the end zone that started a big 4th quarter rally. The secondary really put on the coverage getting two interceptions with one going for six. "Mallet was dissecting our secondary during the 3rd quarter, and while he was getting himself in a rhythm; we turned up the pressure and started playing a lot more physical in the 4th quarter." Phillip Thomas replied when asked what turned it around for the defense to win the game for the team.

Owner, Kevin D. was impressed with what he saw on the field tonight and expectations were set for the remainder of the preseason. Kevin D. spoke with Coach Gruden. Gruden spoke with the media, alerting us that there will be a back up Quarterback competition and starter kicker competition. Is this going to be a Redskins team that runs with only 2 QBs during the season? We'll find out come the end of preseason.
