Redskins Halftime Takeaways: Mistakes killing traces of momentum
The Redskins were expected to get their toughest test since the Saints game today, against a Texans team coming off a six-game winning streak.
There’s a specific statistic that’s haunted the Washington Redskins for the entirety of the 2018 regular season. When they score first, they lead the whole game, and they win the game. When the opposing team scores first, the Redskins trail for the entire outing, and they lose.
It’s been a common theme for the 2018 season, and that theme has continued halfway through today’s game. The Redskins’ offense punted twice, and the Texans drove down to the red zone twice on their first two drives, taking an early, 10-0 first quarter lead.
