BUFFALO -- As he stood at the podium answering questions Sunday, Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins projected something different than he had 10 days earlier. Perhaps it was a sign of growth; perhaps he just felt better about how he handled his first start, even if it had come in a touchdown-less defeat.
In Minnesota, following a struggle in relief, he spoke so low to reporters he could barely be heard from 5 feet away. The defeat and his own performance had dragged him down. On Sunday in Buffalo, he wasn't upbeat, but wasn't downcast.
