EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — For a night that started so horribly on special teams for the Washington Redskins, at least it ended on a somewhat positive note in Thursday’s 32-21 loss to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Eli Manning had just launched a pass down the right sideline for Rueben Randle that deflected off cornerback Bashaud Breeland and into Randle’s hands for a 41-yard touchdown. It was one of those nights where everything was bouncing in the Giants’ favor and away from the Redskins.
On the ensuing kickoff, Redskins receiver Rashad Ross fielded Josh Brown’s kick in the end zone and returned it for a 101-yard return with 3:21 remaining.
