ASHBURN, Va. -- The future Hall of Famer starred throughout the game and it didn’t matter. Alex Smith topped him. And it turned into one of the best moments of his career and a downer for the quarterback on the other side: Drew Brees.
The Washington Redskins would be happy to see history repeat itself Monday night. In 2011, Smith and the San Francisco 49ers won in a playoff duel vs. Brees and the New Orleans Saints in what became a pivotal moment in Smith's career.
“Probably the biggest moment of his career,” said Redskins tight end Vernon Davis, who played a crucial role in that game for the 49ers.
