Derrius Guice leapt into the air and jumped across the goal line — only for yellow flags to immediately throw across the Mercedez-Benz Stadium turf. The Redskins running back barely got to celebrate his potential touchdown before officials called the play back for holding.
It was a disappointing outcome for Washington, and a general theme throughout the first half of Thursday’s 19-7 win against the Atlanta Falcons. The Redskins’ starting offense ultimately couldn’t capitalize on key opportunities and left points on the board, despite having moments of productivity.
And in what could possibly be a tremendous setback, the Redskins announced tight end Jordan Reed was being evaluated for a concussion.
