Washington got the division win on Thursday night at home against the Giants to go to 1-1 on the season and 1-0 inside the NFC East. It was a win that they definitely needed, but this game should never have been the nail-biter it turned out to be.
There were things about what Washington did that I liked. For example, Antonio Gibson averaged 5.3 yards per carry, and the coaches put J.D. McKissic back into the game plan, which paid off with his 56 yard pass reception on Washington’s 4th quarter 2-play touchdown drive.
Speaking of that drive, Ricky Seal-Jones — a player that I never really thought would make the 53-man roster — made a great catch (his first ever in burgundy & gold) to score on a great pass by Taylor Heinicke.
