1. The Redskins’ defense earned their first interception of the season early in the first quarter on a play by Trenton Robinson.
And what a timely play it was.
After three-and-out on the Redskins’ opening possession, the Falcons were getting yardage in huge chunks in their first offensive opportunity.
On 1st and 10 from the Atlanta 35, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed a 40-yard pass to tight end Jacob Tamme to the Washington 40-yard line. But two plays later – including a rare drop by wide receiver Julio Jones – Robinson jumped in front of a pass intended for Jones at the Redskins’ 17-yard line.
