Game log & recaps
Lines are the Circa line from this team's side. Opponent rank = where I had them in my power rankings in effect at kickoff. Recaps are mine, word for word.
Opponent's group in my power rankings at kickoff: Group A Group B Group C Group D Group F
EAGLES 24, Redskins 22 (PHI -4.5). The Eagles hit some big plays early, but that stopped when Jalen Hurts saw lots of pressure. The Redskins nearly caught up, but lost on the 2-point conversion being short. 318-295 PHI, 6.0-4.4 PHI
COWBOYS 37, Redskins 20 (DAL -4). The Cowboys had lots of big plays amid no quarterback pressure, while Jayden Daniels got hurt right before halftime. 389-322 WAS, 6.1-5.8 DAL
REDSKINS 33, Seahawks 31 (WAS +7.5). The Seahawks gave the Redskins two free scores with a Jadarian Price fumble and a Sam Darnold pick-six. The Seahawks constantly trailed, with Darnold getting a bunch of yardage in garbage time. The Seahawks had a chance at the end, but couldn't get off the field. 437-258 SEA, 6.8-4.0 SEA
Colts 30, REDSKINS 13 (WAS +3.5). The Colts were trailing until Marcus Mariota got hurt. Athan Kaliakmanis gave the Colts a free touchdown. Jonathan Taylor took over in the second half, saving Daniel Jones from a poor performance. 317-257 WAS, 5.2-3.7 WAS
REDSKINS 27, Giants 27 (WAS -4). The Redskins were up 19-6 in the third quarter and 27-13 to begin the fourth quarter. They put tons of pressure on Jameis Winston, while Jayden Daniels rushed for 100 yards. The Giants stormed back and sent the game to overtime, but they missed a field goal and then Cam Skattebo fumbled. The Redskins had a field goal, but Daniels ran for no reason and the clock ran out. 408-378 NYG, 6.3-4.9 WAS
49ERS 23, Redskins 17 (SF -7.5). The 49ers led 23-3 and were dominating with Jayden Daniels being scared to run, but Mike Evans got hurt and the 49ers didn't score again. The Redskins nearly took the lead, but had some terrible play-calling late in the game. 375-314 SF, 6.3-5.1 SF
