Lions are sloppy again, the defense stinks and that falls on Matt Patricia and the coaching staff after 35-27 loss to Cowboys, Nov. 17, 2019. Dave Birkett and Carlos Monarrez, Detroit Free Press

When Dwayne Haskins threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Derrius Guice five minutes into the fourth quarter of Washington’s 34-17 loss to the New York Jets last week, it marked the team’s first touchdown in more than a month, since an Oct. 13 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Even taking into account the bye week, Washington went more than 254 minutes of game action between touchdowns, a span of four full games plus another almost full quarter.
