The air was cold and the weather was rainy. In other words, it was Seattle, and the freezing, wet environment portended an offensive struggle inside of CenturyLink Field, one of the more hostile places to play in the NFL. And yet, the Redskins, injury-riddled and short-manned, played their hearts out to pick up their second victory on the road. Quarterback Kirk Cousins’s impressive go-ahead scoring drive followed by a defensive stop sealed just the seventh regular season victory by an opponent in Seattle since 2012. The long trip to the Pacific Northwest was a worthy one.
These road games provide unique traveling experiences, ones that occur at least eight times each season, which are nothing new but are rarely documented.
