Among the struggles exhibited in Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys, some of the more glaring missteps came from the Redskins’ special teams unit.
Head coach Jay Gruden rattled off three plays in particular the following day, explaining that they weren’t up to the team’s standards. Overall, the Redskins have been just "OK," he said, lamenting the fact that there haven’t been “the splash plays…the momentum-changing plays that you look for on special teams.”
Against the Cowboys, that began with a fumbled punt by wide receiver Jamison Crowder with the game still scoreless.
