Forbath kickoff and it sailed into the end zone for a touchback.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/7/2014 11:51:11 PM
Forbath's kick is downed in the back of the end zone, and the first-team defense comes back on the field for the #Redskins . #HTTR
by Mike Jones via twitter 8/7/2014 11:51:46 PM
Starting defense takes the field again. This time in the base 3-4 front. Baker, Cofield, Jenkins on the D-line.

QB @KirkCousins8 warming up on the sidelines for the #Redskins . #NEvsWAS

Mallett sacked by Brian Orakpo.
by Mike Jones via twitter 8/7/2014 11:54:13 PM
Orakpo with the sack. Kerrigan came in forcing Mallet to step up, and he stepped right into the arms of Orakpo.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/7/2014 11:54:19 PM
RAK WITH THE SACK! @rak98 sacks Patriots QB Ryan Mallett for a loss of 5. 3rd and 15 from the NE 15.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/7/2014 11:54:47 PM
Another punt here for the Patriots.
by Mike Jones via twitter 8/7/2014 11:55:00 PM
Patriots go three-and-out again. Strong showing by #Redskins defense.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/7/2014 11:55:11 PM
Kanorris Davis with the helmet-less tackle.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/7/2014 11:55:24 PM
Kanorris Davis made a helmetless tackle. That's a guy who wants to make the roster.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/7/2014 11:55:47 PM
Another three and out, another punt for the Patriots. @AndreRoberts returns it to the WAS 40. Second-team offense on the field.
by Mike Jones via twitter 8/7/2014 11:55:54 PM
Kanorris Davis wants a job. Pats DB ran downfield despite having lost his helmet, and made the tackle in punt coverage.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/7/2014 11:58:07 PM
Joe Vellano in the game for Vince Wilfork already.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/7/2014 11:58:09 PM
QB @RGIII finishes his night 2-of-4 for 9 yards. RB Alfred Morris (@Trey_Deuces ) with 5 rushes for 27 yards (5.4 average). #HTTR #NEvsWAS
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/7/2014 11:58:18 PM
Not only did Davis make the helmetless tackle, he got up after basically being mugged.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/7/2014 11:58:21 PM
Malcolm Butler showing up in a good way already. Almost picked that one off intended for Aldrick Robinson.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/7/2014 11:58:27 PM
Malcolm Butler is a baller.

.@KirkCousins8 scans the field and finds @royhelujr29 for a 16-yard gain, followed by a 17-yard reception by FB Darrel Young. #HTTR

James Anderson playing strong side linebacker.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/8/2014 12:03:10 AM
Illegal contact on Brandon Browner. #newemphasis
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:03:13 AM
#Redskins face a 3rd and 12 from the NE 34-yard line. They benefit from a holding call on Brandon Browner. 1st and 10 from NE 30.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:03:35 AM
Joe Vellano gets caught doing a little too much there.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:04:30 AM
Personal foul call on the Patriots pushes the #Redskins into the red zone. 1st and 10 from the NE 14.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:06:13 AM
Former Rutgers teammates Duron Harmon and Logan Ryan run into each other as Kirk Cousins connects with Aldrick Robinson for a 10-yard TD.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:06:16 AM
TOUCHDOWN #REDSKINS ! @KirkCousins8 10-yard pass to @AldrickRobinson . #HTTR #NEvsWAS
by New England Patriots via twitter 8/8/2014 12:06:40 AM
Redskins make it 10-0 with a 10-yd TD from Cousins to Robinson. #NEvsWAS
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:07:17 AM
The extra point from @zhocker18 is good! #Redskins lead the Pats 10-0 here with 2:18 left in the 1st. Cousins threads needle to Robinson.

Kai Forbath with a 39-yard field goal with 7:58 left in the first quarter. Washington 3, New England 0
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:09:08 AM
#Redskins ' scoring drive: Nine plays, 60 yards, 4:17.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:09:17 AM
Awesome return turns ugly with Roy Finch fumble.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/8/2014 12:09:47 AM
Roy Finch was looking good until he wasn't.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:10:36 AM
Penalty on that … Looks like Finch might get another chance.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:11:06 AM
The official call was offsides on that penalty.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/8/2014 12:11:21 AM
Roy Finch gets a second chance to make a first impression.
by New England Patriots via twitter 8/8/2014 12:11:28 AM
Roy Finch with a promising kickoff return...followed by a fumble. Luckily an off sides flag forces a re-kick. #NEvsWAS
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:11:56 AM
Decent return on the second try for Roy Finch. 23 yards. Battle for kick return spot still up in the air.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:12:07 AM
An offsides call on the #Redskins on a kickoff nullifies a potential fumble return in New England territory. Pats take over at their 24.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:12:34 AM
James White out as the RB.
by Washington Redskins via twitter 8/8/2014 12:13:22 AM
A mix of starters and backups on the field for the #Redskins ' defense to start the Patriots' third drive of the game.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:14:32 AM
Ryan Mallett got up kind of slow after that last scramble. Keeps messing with his socks.
by Erik Frenz via twitter 8/8/2014 12:14:33 AM
Chill out, guys. The grass at FedEx Field is notoriously awesome.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:15:05 AM
Vereen and White on the field together.
by zuriberry via twitter 8/8/2014 12:16:32 AM
Josh Boyce penalty, followed by Josh Boyce catch for 15 yards. Nice to see Mallett stay in there for the throw.
