ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins didn’t want to see more big plays. So they returned to a strategy employed a couple of years ago: Cornerback Josh Norman started lining up on the same side as New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
When they did this two years ago, it started a season-long trend. This time it might have been a one-game deal -- unless they face another situation similar to Sunday. Considering the Redskins will face Atlanta’s Julio Jones on Sunday -- as well as Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu -- it could happen again.
