It certainly wasn’t the prettiest brand of football, but the Washington Football Team got back on the winning side of things on Thursday night, defeating the New York Giants on a last-second 43-yard field goal from Dustin Hopkins.
The story of the game — other than Washington making Daniel Jones look like Lamar Jackson and the holding play that gave Hopkins a second chance at life after he missed his initial attempt from 48 yards — was, of course, Taylor Heinicke.
It’s only one start, but Ryan Fitzpatrick might return in his familiar backup role if Heinicke keeps performing at this level.
