RGIII and The Washington Redskins traveled to the mile high city on Sunday to do battle on the grid iron with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, emotions were high since this was Mike Shanahan's first time back to Denver since being fired from the Broncos in 2008, he is the only head coach in Bronco's history to bring home a Superbowl victory, 2 Superbowl victories to be exact. How Ironic in this game the very player that led the Broncos to those 2 championships was on the other side of the sideline, of course were talking about the legendary John Elway, who is now the Broncos general manager. Would this be a nice home coming for Shanahan?
The first quarter in 10:02 The Broncos struck first with a 6 yard pass from manning to Wes Welker. Broncos up 7-0, the only score in the first quarter. The second quarter in :19 It was a 7 yard pass from RGIII to Leonard Hankerson for a touchdown! Hankerson's only reception in the game today. We are tied 7-7! at halftime! The Defense in the 1st half did a great job shutting down Peyton Manning!
The Third Quarter begin and 11:34 a 1 yard td run from Alfred Morris, who had 17 carries on the day for 93 yards; and a touchdown. Then in 11:25 DeAngelo Hall picked off Manning and ran it back 26 yards for a touchdown! The Redskins up 21-7 in the third quarter! The Broncos would respond however in 7:48 Montee Ball with a four yard touchdown run, at the end of the third it's 21-14 The Redskins still have the lead. (Oh lord are we gonna see another fourth quarter Peyton Manning comeback!) The 4th 14:46 a 1 yard touchdown pass to Joel Dressen from Peyton Manning, (Oh lord!!) and then in 14:19 a 35 yard touchdown pass to Knowshon Moreno from Peyton Manning, then in 11:14 a 19 yard Matt Prater field goal (the only field goal kicked kicked today), it got worse folks! in 6:35 Another 35 yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas from Peyton Manning! and finally in 2:07 it was a pick off by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for a 75 yard run back for a touchdown! The Broncos in the 4th quarter outscored the Redskins 31-0! Peyton Manning and The Denver Broncos defeat RGIII and the Washington Redskins 45-21!!
A terrible 2nd half by the Redskins ruining Mike Shanahan's Denver homecoming, and another 4th quarter Peyton Manning comeback! RGIII went 15/30 for 132 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. In the 4th quarter he would go down with an injury to his left knee, he was taken out and Kurt Cousins came in to go 5/9 for 48 yards, and 2 interceptions ( That will shut up the put Cousins in crowd!) Jordan Reed led the team with 8 receptions for 90 yards. The Defense managed to pick off Peyton Manning 3 times, 2 of those by D-Hall and the other by Jordan Pugh. They managed to sack Manning twice once by Ryan Kerrigan and the other by Rob Jackson. However all and all a terrible performance by the Redskins, and they fall to 2-5 this season, next week the Skins host Phillip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers, game time 1:00 pm from Fed Ex Field.
Washington Capitals:
The Great 8 and the Washington Capitals travel Vancouver tonight to battle the Canucks, game time 10:00 pm est. The Caps coming off a 5-2 loss Saturday to the Calgary Flames, after winning 3 in a row seemed like things were really starting to gel, however Saturday Braden Holtby was taken out of the game after he had 3 goals scored against him, Neuvirth didn't fare much better with 2 goals scored against him. The Great 8 was shut down Saturday not scoring at all. A name not mentioned much this season Aaron Volpatti scored his first goal of the season. So tonight hopefully the Caps can get back on track after Saturday nights loss to the Flames, tonight in Vancouver! Will have my thoughts and reaction tomorrow on tonight's game.
