Dwayne Haskins bounces back, but early woes proved too costly for Washington

LANDOVER, Md., -- Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins showed, once more, the good and the bad. It explains why Washington fell behind by 17 points to Seattle. And it explains, in part, how it was able to come back – and nearly stun the Seahawks.

For much of Sunday’s 20-15 loss to Seattle, Haskins looked like a guy who wouldn’t be starting next week – if Alex Smith doesn’t return from a strained calf muscle. In the second half, helped by a defense that shut down Seattle, Haskins showed that maybe he could help them if he needs to keeps starting.
