Arie Kouandjio Makes A Big Impression In First NFL Start

After waiting more than an entire season to get his first start in the NFL, Arie Kouandjio took advantage of his opportunity Sunday and had a major impact in the Redskins' 31-20 win over the Browns.

Coming into the game against the Browns, there was quite a bit of talk concerning the amount of injuries that the Redskins had been dealt, particularly after the team's Week 3 victory over the New York Giants. Among those who were asked to step up due to injuries was second-year guard Arie Kouandjio.

Starting at left guard in place of Shawn Lauvao, who was out with an ankle injury, Kouandjio impressed with his performance and was a significant contributor to the 31-20 victory.
