Washington coach Rivera stands by QB Haskins after rough day

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Ohio homecoming Dwayne Haskins was hoping to have didn't go very well for Washington's big-armed quarterback.

Haskins threw three interceptions and fumbled on a strip sack by Myles Garrett in a 34-20 loss on Sunday to the Cleveland Browns, who scored following four of Washington's five turnovers.

Haskins, who had been showing growth in his second season for the Washington Football Team, reverted to some bad habits. He locked in on targets, forced throws into tight coverage and gave the Browns momentum with his miscues.

“No excuses for anything,” said the former Ohio State star, who went 21 of 37 for 224 yards.
