Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins flashes again, but big fixes are needed

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins was elated when he notched the first victory of his NFL career against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, and he played a crucial role in getting the win; Haskins’ clutch third-down run on the final drive helped the Redskins move the chains, and his third-down pass to Terry McLaurin afterward set up a game-winning field goal.

But while Haskins rose to the occasion on the final drive, the previous three and a half quarters were less superb. Haskins routinely missed open receivers, and there were times when he could have given his offense a better chance to succeed.
