Brian Johnson introduces himself with game winning kick against the Raiders

For the fourth week in a row, running back Antonio Gibson shouldered the load for the offense, rushing 23 times for 88 yards, and catching 5 passes on 6 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown. This was another game where the Football Team’s 3rd down efficiency was good (7-13) while its opponent’s 3rd down efficiency was not (the Raiders were 2-8), and in which Washington won the Time of Possession battle 33:43 to 26:17

Most NFL games have between 22 and 24 offensive drives. Sunday’s game in Las Vegas had only 18 (9 drives per team), so every possession was critical.
