Mark Solway Money kick. That’s what Brian Johnson’s first ever field goal for the Washington Football Team was. With less than a minute to play, the rookie kicker was trotted out for a shot at glory. And he came through in the clutch.
With Washington down by a point to the Las Vegas Raiders, Johnson pounded his 48-yard kick through the uprights, to give Washington a 17-15 lead with just 42 seconds to go.
Two teams in the thick of a playoff hunt will square off at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. The Las Vegas Raiders and the Washington Football Team both look to further their 2021 playoff aspirations with a critical win in Week 13.
Can Washington overcome a rash of injuries of late, that are forcing them deeper and deeper at positions?
The Raiders were also hit with bad injury news on Saturday night, when Darren Waller was downgraded to unavailable.
The Washington Football Team won their third straight game to move to 5-6, and into the NFC Wild Card picture. Washington’s narrow 17-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night came right down to the wire.
Seattle had the opportunity to tie the game in the waning moments, but Kendall Fuller intercepted the two-point conversion that could have evened the score.
Washington’s cause was further aided by a penalty on the following kickoff, that negated a successful Seattle onside kick.
The Washington Football Team are back in the playoff hunt after their third consecutive victory. Washington beat the Seattle Seahawks 17-15 in this week’s Monday Night Football game. In doing so, they moved to 5-6, and into the seventh and final NFC Wild Card Playoff position.
It took a late intercepted two-point conversion from Kendall Fuller and an overturned onside kick to finally get the win. But Washington did it mostly by keeping Russell Wilson off the field.
It’s hard to believe that fourteen years have passed since that fateful day. The day when Sean Taylor’s life was prematurely ended.
This year the organization further memorialized Sean by retiring his jersey number.
Nobody will ever don the number 21 for Washington ever again.
It’s #WallpaperWednesday, and today we recognize and appreciate Jonathan Allen. Allen signed a 4-year, $72 million contract extension with the Washington Football Team this past offseason.
Sometimes when a player signs their big contract, there is a let off in effort and subsequently, with success. Not with Allen. He is having his best season as a pro, having already registered six sacks. He now has 23 career sacks.
The Washington Football Team will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in the Monday Night Football extravaganza next week. The Seahawks are 3-7, have lost two in a row, and are currently last in the NFC West. The WFT are 2-0 since their bye – beating two upper level teams – and seem to be on a … Read more
The Washington Football Team just won it’s second tough football game in a row. This week’s victory came on the road against a Carolina Panthers team that was up for the battle, as they welcomed Cam Newton back to their franchise. Fortunately for Washington, Taylor Heinicke was better on the day and secured a tough 27-21 victory at Bank Of America Stadium.
Heinicke threw three touchdown passes against the league’s toughest pass defense, to lead the way for Washington. He completed 16 of 22 passes for 206 yards, and ran for another 29 yards on six carries. The 28-year old made some spectacular plays. Not the least of which, was a fourth down scramble where he threw up a prayer that got answered, and kept a WFT drive alive.
The Carolina Panthers had their Cam Newton homecoming dreams dashed, by the Washington Football team’s second consecutive victory. That makes it the second week in a row for Loser Papers!! Congrats to the team on another gutsy victory.
Loser Papers aims to hunt down some hyperbolic words posted by the WFT opposition’s media following a Washington win.
Here we go!
Two teams coming off big wins, will square off against each other in Charlotte on Sunday. The Washington Football Team are fresh off beating the defending Super Bowl Champs last weekend. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers beat the Arizona Cardinals who had the best record in football.
Carolina will be trying newly supplanted quarterback Cam Newton at starter. He returned to Carolina last week, and scored twice on his first two touches.
Can he learn the offense quickly enough to be an effective starter this week?
The WFT will again go with Taylor Heinicke, who had his best game in over a month against Tampa Bay.
Washington would also be wise to keep an eye on the hot hand of Christian McCaffrey – who had over 160 yards rushing and receiving against the Cardinals.
