The vibe surrounding the Washington Football Team has largely been positive after they picked up their first win of the season.
While a win is a win, Washington was dangerously close to being on the wrong side of the scoreline last Thursday. If Taylor Heinicke didn’t have nerves of steel or if the Giants were more aggressive with their play-calling late in the fourth quarter, we’re probably talking about an 0-2 start for Ron Rivera’s side.
While there were a number of turning points in the game, none was bigger than the offsides penalty on Dexter Lawrence that gave Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins a shot at redemption, which he took full advantage of.
