It was a magical night at FedEx Field. The Redskins beat Dallas in front of a packed house 28 – 18 to win the NFC East. The crowd was there early and was loud all night.
It was not a pretty game from RGIII and Dallas quarterback Tony Romo played just well enough to lose. It was a great night for Alfred Morris. The Redskin tailback from Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton set the all-time single season yardage mark for the team as he amassed 200 yards in the game with three touchdowns.
My takeaways from being at FedEx are (1) that RGIII was not as sharp as usual and looked to be affected by the knee injury, (2) Tony Romo makes too many mistakes, (3) FedEx Field finally feels like a “home” stadium, (4) the Redskins have worked miracles with a so-so offensive line and Alfred Morris, and (5) the Redskins did no really have control of the game until the late 4th quarter interception by linebacker Rob Jackson.
It was magical because the of the home crowd, the excitement and a general feeling that the Redskins were going to win.
For next week, Seattle comes to FedEx at 4:30 PM on Sunday.
