From the outside looking in, the Washington Redskins had nearly a flawless performance against the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 2018 campaign. Their performance surprised most people given the uncertainty of how Washington would look coming out of the gate. It is only one week for Washington of course, but the positives are what make the foreseeable future favorable in the standings, and for the confidence of the team heading into the middle of the season.
The elder statesmen of the offense Alex Smith (34 years old) and Adrian Peterson (33 years old), with the help of Chris Thompson, led the unit to a dominant performance against the Cardinals.
