The Washington Redskins failed miserably in their first test of the regular season by suffering a soul-crushing 32-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
With the Redskins entering halftime holding a surprising 20-7 lead, they had a prime opportunity to steal a win from the favored Eagles. Unfortunately, both the offense and defense proved to be ineffective and unreliable down the stretch. The Redskins went on to be outscored 25-7 to close out the game.
While the final result was obviously not ideal for players and fans alike, one particular player on the Redskins defense stood out above the rest in terms of making a positive impact.
