The Redskins needed a win. They needed to silence the critics. They needed to step up to the challenge. They needed to get some confidence back. They needed to find a way to wipe away the embarrassment of the loss in New Orleans. They needed to come together as a group and get some things straightened out.
And that’s just what they did on Sunday at FedEx Field.
The Carolina Panthers came in at 3-1 off the emotional high of a last-second 63-yard game-winning field goal seeking to keep pace with New Orleans in the NFC South.
