Making his first NFL start since in almost a year, Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy didn’t sugarcoat his performance.
“Tough day,” McCoy said after the 33-7 defeat. “We want to score more than seven points.”
The Redskins hung around in the first half, heading into the intermission trailing 12-7. But the Patriots scored three touchdowns to pull ahead in the second half, while McCoy seemed helpless. Each of Washington’s five drives in the second half resulted in a punt, with none totaling more than 25 yards of offense.
McCoy completed 18 of his 27 pass attempts, throwing one interception and no touchdowns, and finished with 119 passing yards.
