Before the team's last full day of practice, the Redskins arranged for director Peter Berg to show his forthcoming movie to the team.

Once the entire Redskins team, coaching staff and ownership had settled into their seats, situated with proper movie-going snacks, director Peter Berg stood in the center aisle of the Richmond-area theater and introduced his new film, “Deepwater Horizon,” with a metaphor.

The movie, about the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion that took 11 lives and spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, was, like most Peter Berg movies, a story of teamwork under crisis.
