In a match up against several Washington player and coaching alumni, including Pierre Garcon, Aldrick Robinson, Logan Paulsen, and Coach Kyle Shanahan, the current men in burgundy and gold couldn’t have been happier with their start. However, what should’ve been a guaranteed win against a winless San Francisco team turned out to be a long four quarters with missed chances, unfortunate officials’ reviews and rulings, and just enough luck to win.
As the first quarter got underway, Kirk Cousins and the offense drove down the field, and they executed a perfectly balanced opening series. Cousins’ four passes paired with four runs, and he capped a 75 yard, 5:34 drive with a touchdown pass to Josh Doctson.
