Just a terrific win because they keep having to overcome obstacles whether injuries or negative plays. They’ve developed a rugged mindset. It matters.

4-6. Two in a row. Monday nighter coming up. Washington might be on to something here folks

Game Balls:
Taylor Heinicke
Scott Turner

Terry McLaurin #WashingtonFootball— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) November 21, 2021
Names that stepped up today that I would’ve NEVER expected to matter back in camp:
*DeAndre Carter – another TD
*John Bates – enormous fourth-down grab
*Joey Slye – two FGs, three PATs
*James Smith Williams – half sack, TFL, 6 tackles— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 21, 2021

Oh, BTW, Taylor Heinicke outplayed Newton today. Yes, Newton played well, but the attention has all been on Newton. Heinicke was better. Carry on.
— Washington Wire (@Washington_Wire) November 21, 2021
That drive showed the entire Heinicke experience. Sacked holding onto the ball too long, amazing freelancing on 4th down to convert, nice run and smart slide to keep clock running, then falling away from and missing a throw he could have made
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 21, 2021
Heineke is improving. If you can’t see it, you’re a hater
— Phongna Bologna (@FriendlyRascal) November 21, 2021
I’m changing my tune on Taylor Heinicke. He (and Scot Turner) just beat two quality defenses in two straight weeks with a bunch of pieces missing. You draft a QB for absolute sure, but you let Taylor play until he doesn’t play well anymore.
— Disco (@discoque5) November 21, 2021
Whatever Taylor Heinicke did during the bye week, bottle it up and sell it. This has felt like a totally different Washington team the last six quarters.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) November 21, 2021
Its time to start giving Scott Turner the respect he deserves. Once again he called a brilliant game against a top defense. He is absolutely, ZERO DOUBTS about it, the man for the job!#WashingtonFootball

The best ex-Panther quarterback who’s returning to Bank of America Stadium today might not be the one who runs around and slams footballs onto the midfield logo
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) November 21, 2021
Today is further proof we don’t need our time wasted by a Mariota or Trubisky. Upgrade the position or don’t, but don’t sell me on one of those dudes.

Cheering on Terry Mclaurin?

I’m down to pay Terry $30M/yr honestly
— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) November 21, 2021
I have ZERO issue if we make @TheTerry_25 the highest paid receiver in the NFL.
54 rec, 735 yards, 5 TD’s in 10 games.
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 21, 2021
DeAndre Carter on Terry McLaurin: “He’s a killer. You see the game he has today… he takes big hits and still makes plays. He embodies who we are as a tough; tough hard-nosed kid.”

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that when Larson had to leave the game, and Schweitzer came in at C, we began running the ball better.
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) November 21, 2021
Just look at the movement generated up front by Washington’s OL. Most movement Washington’s OL has been getting since the Shanahan zone scheme days. pic.twitter.com/i0CzIs7YXc
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 21, 2021
This is such a nice red zone concept by Scott Turner. Pivot route by DeAndre Carter looks like a slant under a pick by the TE Bates, but then Bates breaks inside and Carter pivots back out. Excellent pic.twitter.com/m7VqaVo4dt
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 21, 2021
What a cool call this is, made to look like a QB draw, might even have the option to keep it if the safety doesn’t step up, but threat of Cam running forces safety to step up and Cam throws over him for the TD. pic.twitter.com/zjVNHmEzNn

Jon Allen forces the Panthers to slide the C towards him, leaving Payne 1-on-1 with the RG. Payne breaks through and forces Newton to try and step up before closing for the sack pic.twitter.com/tBWDjsE2qY

Great job by William Jackson sticking tight in coverage and breaking up the pass to set up 4th down pic.twitter.com/NZW7u7gzeG

Antonio Gibson rushed for 79 of his 95 yards after halftime —and after he was benched for three series following his fumble. He’s a key reason why Washington’s offense has found an identity. And that’s good news for fantasy football owners. https://t.co/ezDTNtS0WB pic.twitter.com/VdefbhVMz2

Ron Rivera told me he was prepared to walk into the locker room and give his players another “Victory Monday.”
And they, in turn, surprised HIM with a game ball #WFT pic.twitter.com/YyJe0YmNEx
— KimberLEY A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) November 21, 2021
James Smith-Williams grew up a big Cam Newton fan. Helped bring him down at the end. “Full circle moment for me,” he said.
— John Keim (@john_keim) November 21, 2021
The last time the #WashingtonFootball crew won a game in which they out-rushed the passing (net) attack? (190 – 179)
Last year — in Glendale, AZ, against the #49ers. 98 net rush yards to 95 pass yards.
I would say this one feels a whole lot different

I’ve never ever seen this team act like this. But I LOVE it.

Cam Newton has arrived.
Asked about the atmosphere at BoA Stadium, Cam said the fans held up their end, but he and the #Panthers didn’t. “The energy was electric. There was good juju in there.” pic.twitter.com/CEJzXYGbQR

Tomorrow is the day the NFL is scheduled to pick a kick time for WAS at PHI in Week 15. The best two games go to Saturday, Dec. 18. The rest go to Sunday, Dec. 19. With both teams winning today, curious if the Football Team gets the nod. pic.twitter.com/ztk6nmnGxD

I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself but the Eagles suddenly started blowing out bad teams once they figured out how to run the ball, and they could finish this week 5-6.
Their next five games are all against the Giants, Jets, and WFT. Some opportunity there. pic.twitter.com/dANsKQf6WB

Seattle is now 3-7. Will need to finish 6-1 to avoid its first losing season in a decade. Already matched its high for losses since 2012.
