The Redskins and Saints are locked into a close back-and-forth, blow-for-blow battle today at FedExField.
After getting out to a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter, the Redskins' defense made a huge play to start the second quarter. On 3rd and 8 from the New Orleans 22-yard line, Saints quarterback Drew Brees dropped back and was quickly harassed by defensive end Stephen Paea, who brought him down for an 8-yard loss.
The play was Paea's first-career whole sack for the Redskins.
But the Redskins, who scored on their first two possessions, couldn't cash in this time around, and were forced to punt.
