MNF Rivalry Test

It was a battle during Monday Night Football on ESPN as the Redskins had a hard loss to their division rivals 18-16 in Dallas. Cowboys ended up winning the game by kicking all field goals and not being able to finish with a touchdown in the red zone the entire game. Washington had an attempt to extend their lead even more in the first half around 6:30 left with a 36 yard field goal by Graham Gano but it was blocked. The game was an intense rivalry and it dropped the Redskins down to a three-way tie with Dallas and New York within the NFC East. Each team fought to the end with an upsetting interception thrown by Rex Grossman with about 30 seconds left in the game. 

The Redskins fought hard and with the way they looked last night, they are going to back to their old ways which no fan ever wanted to see again. They play the Rams on Sunday at St. Louis and I hope they can come out on top and pick back up their spirits going into their bye week. It was a hard, tough, fight of a game by both sides and the Redskins just did not have what it takes to make things finish successfully in their favor. I want to see them do well this season and I think they can turn things around and not let this one loss tear them down to much.
