For as UGLY an offensive performance as this game was, three wins in a row sure feels GREAT!Now listen - I get it; we weren't exactly playing any stellar offenses in the last three contests, but this is the NFL and like the old saying goes - "any given Sunday".Now, if you are a fan of the modern NFL with lots of points and downfield balls (there were just three by Washington), this game may not have been for you... however, if you appreciate good defense and big stops in key situations, then this game was right up your ally.
