Coming into this game, the Washington Redskins and the Miami Dolphins were a combined 0-9. The Redskins had seen their margin of defeat increase with each passing game, and the Dolphins hadn’t scored a single point in the second half of their games.
Two teams mired in ineptitude met, and as much as it might seem off brand, one of those teams had to come away with a win today. Washington made it hard on themselves at times, but they managed to earn the victory against their AFC East opponent, the Miami Dolphins.
In a vacuum, winning this game was a positive for the Redskins players, as they get a much-needed morale boost.
