Hopkins’ 5th field goal gives Redskins 29-27 win over Giants

Redskins RB Matt Jones, who rushed for a 14-yard score last week, is averaging 4.3 yards per carry this season after mustering just 3.4 in 2015. 3.

Now all eyes are on Sunday’s matchup against the 2-0 New York Giants and Norman’s test against Beckham Jr.to see if the reigning NFC East champions can dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole. “And it’s just up to us to go out there and try to execute it and be dominant to the best of our ability”. “There’s was no, ‘You get a warning.’ There was not any of that”.

-Quinton Dunbar needs to play more.

The game will be played at the MetLife stadium in NY at 6pm GMT. It kept Washington ahead 26-24.

The Giants and Redskins then traded field goals, setting the stage for the Giants’ final possession.

The Giants figure to get their passing game heavily involved, especially given that Jennings is still nursing a thumb ailment. Even though two time Pro- Bowler Bryant did not have as big of a game as Brown, seven catches for 102 yards, the Redskins lost 27-23 and the Redskins’ defensive scheme was brought up in question.

According the Dean Blandino, the National Football League officiating crew assigned to Sunday’s game between the Redskins and Giants has been instructed to pay extra attention to Norman and Beckham.

“I love third downs”, Shepard said. “I think things that happen in the past stay in the past, whether they are here or not”.

The Giants were able to get off to a strong start with a touchdown run by running back Shane Vereen. They called on him five times today to get three points on the board and there was never a doubt about any of them.

This was an NFC East matchup that see-sawed the entire second half after Washington rallied from a 21-9 deficit.

Previous year in a matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Giants, things got out of hand between Josh Norman and Odell Beckham.

“We got it in us”. We are fighters, fighters to the end. “Scrapping. real gritty, all the way down to the bone and gristle”. They were among a number of mental and physical mistakes the Giants committed to ruin their hopes of a 3-0 start. And instead of finding a way to lose when they took a third-quarter lead like they did last week against the Cowboys they found a way to win.

That seems like a lot to have to stop, but Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said it potentially boils down to one thing. Cornerback Janoris Jenkins said last week the Giants were “special” and had weapons all over their offense, defense and special teams. Hopkins kicked a career-high five field goals, covering 49, 33, 45, 25 and 37 yards.

Giants had a blocked punt by Romeo Okwara nullified with just over 11 minutes to play by a personal foul against Andrew Adams, who was added to the roster Saturday. However, it wasn’t long before quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Redskins struck back with a field goal. Damon Harrison instantly shored up the run defense, while Jason Pierre-Paul looks like his old self again and Janoris Jenkins has been a much-needed impact player in the secondary.
