Redskins seek better starts after halftime on both offense and defense

ASHBURN — The Washington Redskins have entered halftime leading opponents in three of their first four games, a stark contrast from when they led after the first two quarters in only three games all of last season.

With the exception of the Redskins’ Week 3 game against the New York Giants, in which they trailed, 12-0, after the first quarter, the problem has not been how the team starts its games — it’s how they re-start them after the break.

The Redskins (2-2) have been outscored by opponents, 26-3, in the third quarter this season, and the team hopes to change that on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons (4-0).
