What a great feeling to dismantle the Boys in their home stadium on Thanksgiving Day in front of a national audience.
Too bad that the Skins defense let Romo and the Cowboys back into it in the second half to make a game of it! Nevertheless, the most important thing is that the Skins answered each time.
The way the Skins answered: first with the Niles Paul uncovered touchdown (just a super-gutsy play call by Kyle Shanahan on 3rd and inches when the tendency is to rush the ball into the line), then with the Kai Forbath 48-yard FG on a sustained clock-killing drive, and finally with the recovery of the onsides kick that DeAngelo Hall might as well have run into the end zone to be up two scores with 10 seconds left. On the other hand, the victory formation at the end allowed Washington to run a play that wasn't going to incur any injuries for either side whereas a kickoff after a return touchdown may have.
