Halftime
It was a memorable first half for Washington fans, with the early interceptions by Perry Riley Jr. and Will Blackmon, a long play-action touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson, a screen to Matt Jones and a fourth-and-goal call that worked out. Plus, the Redskins get the ball to start the second half.
