Redskins players happy with win, but want to be better amid push for playoffs

CHICAGO — Jason Hatcher was not trying to curb the Washington Redskins‘ enthusiasm after their 24-21 win against the Chicago Bears, but the veteran defensive end made sure the team realized that if it wants to win the NFC East, it cannot be satisfied with Sunday’s performance.

The Redskins lifted a great burden off of their shoulders when they won their first road game of the season at Soldier Field. The win came after a crushing, 19-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, when the Redskins squandered the opportunity to pull ahead as the leader in the muddied division.
