Washington faces the Saints at home next week, before going on the road to Carolina. Home games against the NFC East-rival Giants and Cowboys complete the third quarter of the season.

The first quarter isn’t going well:
We’re at the 4:30 mark of the opening quarter, and the first 11 and half minutes have forgettable for Washington fans. Except for Will Blackmon breaking up a pass and later stripping Julian Edelman to cause a fumble, it’s been bad. Washington has run only one play, a pass that was intercepted.
