Redskins' Josh Johnson on 1st Career Win in NFL: 'It Was a Relief'

Josh Johnson was drafted to the NFL in 2008 but didn't earn his first win as a starting quarterback until Sunday.

The 32-year-old got the start for the Washington Redskins—his first start since 2011—and helped the team to a 16-13 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"I've always had belief in myself that I can do things like this, but, I've never been one to talk about it because talking does nothing," he said after the game, per Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com. "... Just to have it go our way and be able to just have everything that has been building up in me for years and finally let it out, it was a relief.
