FedEx Ground Moment: Chris Thompson Sprints For 42-Yard Gain

This week's FedEx Ground Moment of the Week looks at Chris Thompson's 42-yard run on a third-down draw play in the first quarter of the Redskins' 23-20 victory.

Almost everyone knew it was coming, but Chris Thompson was determined to make a big-time play for his team early in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

After receiving the opening kickoff, the Redskins offense went to work starting from their own 20-yard line.

Pushed back to their own 11-yard line, however, the Redskins called on Thompson for a draw play on 3rd-and-19.
