LANDOVER, MD. — Rookie running back Jaret Patterson did a little bit of everything and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter in Washington’s 17-13 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night.
Patterson, an undrafted free agent from Buffalo and former star at St. Vincent Pallotti, ran for 71 yards, caught three passes for 25 yards and had a 37-yard kickoff return. His 1-yard scoring plunge was Washington’s only touchdown. Dustin Hopkins had three field goals for Washington (1-1).
Cincinnati (1-1) held out quarterback Joe Burrow for the second week in a row and the offense struggled.
