ASHBURN — At one point in Alex Smith’s career, the Redskins quarterback, then in Kansas City, went 18 straight games — dating from December 2013 to September 2015 — without throwing a touchdown pass to a wide receiver. It was one of the most random streaks in football, but Smith and the Chiefs offense still found ways to be productive.
During Sunday’s 24-6 win against the Arizona Cardinals, Smith did much of the same.
Wideouts Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson and Jamison Crowder accounted for just 65 of Smith’s 255 passing yards, but the Redskins’ offense was efficient — relying on running backs and tight ends to move the ball down the field.
