1st Quarter
- Saints win the toss. They defer and elect to kick off.
- 3rd and 4 - Kirk Cousins completes a 42-yard pass down the sideline to DeSean Jackson for the first down. Here we go again. It's already starting.
- 3rd and 1 - Jordan Reed is wide open in the flat, runs and stretchs for the touchdown.
- Saints defense looks as bad as we remember.
- Redskins leading early 7-0.
--------------------------------
- Mark Ingram with an incredible 70-yard run down the sideline! He almost made it into the end zone. Probably the most impressive run of his NFL career. Zach Strief with a great block.
- Brees hits Brandin Cooks over the middle for the short TD pass.
- Saints tie it up 7-7.
-------------------------------
- 3rd and 7 - Kikaha gets flagged for a neutral zone infraction so it becomes 3rd and 2. Naturally, Matt Jones rushed for 20 yards and the first down.
- After a few more plays to get down field, Matt Jones rushes again for a 29-yard pickup.
- Kirk Cousins hits Jamison Crowder at the goal line for the TD.
- Redskins lead again 14-7.
-----------------------------
2nd Quarter
- 3rd and 8 - Brees gets sacked by Stephen Paea. Saints go three and out.
---------------------------
- Good consecutive pass breakups by Delvin Breaux and Kyle Wilson force the Redskins to punt. Hallelujah!

- Saints tie it up again 14-14.
-------------------------
- On the second play of the drive Kirk Cousins hits Matt Jones on a screen pass and Jones takes it 78 freaking yards for the touchdown. Holy crap. This is unbelievable.
- Delvin Breaux injured on the play. Just what the Saints need.
- Redskins retake the lead 21-14.
-----------------------
- Drew Brees gets absolutely rocked from his blindside after a terrible blitz pickup effort by Michael Hoomanawanui. Trent Murphy with the sack.
- Saints forced to punt.
----------------------
- Brees and Cousins both have a perfect QB rating at this point in the game.
- Matt Jones racks up another 24 yards on a dump off pass.
- That's followed by a 38-yard rush by Chris Thompson.
- Stephone Anthony makes a beautiful interception on a pass deflected by Jo-Lonn Dunbar but Cam Jordan is called for holding so the play does not stand. Saints defense can't catch a break.

- Redskins hit a FG as the first half ends.
- Redskins extend their lead 27-14.
3rd Quarter
- Saints start the second half with the ball.

- 3rd and 1 - Hightower can't pick up the first down.
- 4th and 1 - Spiller can't pick up the first down. Questionable call to have Spiller out there. Why not Ingram?
- Saints turn it over on downs.
-----------------------------
- First play of the half for the Redskins offense and it's a 28-yard run by Alfred Morris.
- Hau'oli Kikaha re-injured his ankle. He's questionable to return. Good thing they rushed him back.

- Skins lead 30-14.
----------------------------
- Saints go three and out.
---------------------------

4th Quarter
- Brees pass to Colston bounces off his hands and right into the waiting arms of Dashon Goldson, who high steps all the way into the end zone.
- Redskins dominating 44-14.
---------------------------
- 4th and 4 for the Saints. Payton calls a punt but Brees waves it off and stays on the field. The Saints turn the ball over on downs. Payton is looking confused and exchanges words with Brees on the sideline.
--------------------------
- The Redskins keep the ball on the ground with five straight runs.
- Dustin Hopkins makes his 4th straight field goal of the day. He's a good kicker. The Saints could use someone like that.
- It's now 47-14 in favor of the Redskins. Do I have to keep going?
-------------------------
- Drew Brees goes to Ben Watson down the left sideline but the pass is picked off by Perry Riley, Jr. for Drew's second INT of the day.
---------------------------
- Colt McCoy checks into the game for Kirk Cousins. Cousins finishes the game with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Wow!
