Redskins vikings game score

After an inauspicious start including a scramble for a first down from Cousins, the Vikings and Stefon Diggs looked to make a play early as he got wide open and made his way down field for what would have been a 32 yard play, if not for the hustle of and linebacker Cole Holcomb, who forced a fumble.

Washington gets an early turnover and their first possession of their game at their own Minnesota may not have been ready for the first play from Bill Callahan and the Redskins, who decided to throw immediately after starting last week's game with ten consecutive runs. A 3rd and 1 conversion by Adrian Peterson as Washington crossed midfield was nullified by a holding penalty, putting the team in a 3rd and 11 they converted on a pass to Wendell Smallwood as Case Keenum wormed his way out of trouble.

Smallwood looked to be shaken up on the play, but there is no word on his status at this time. No matter, Keenum is strip sacked by Danielle Hunter on the following play as he tried to step up in the pocket to avoid pressure.

Two drives so. Two turnovers. Vikings take over at the Washington The Vikings go for it on fourth down, ultimately a successful run by Dalvin Cook to move the chains and keep the drive alive, however the Redskins defense stifles Minnesota, forcing them into a 50 yard field goal, which kicker Dan Bailey puts right through the uprights.

The Redskins need to figure out ways to get the ball to Terry McLaurin. He is absolutely the most dynamic player the team has offensively. He catches a pass and takes it up field for 17 yards getting the team near midfield. After a pass brought up a 3rd and short, Washington finds McLaurin again on a curl route, easily converting. Last week Callahan's game plan fell flat, refusing to try to pass the ball. Whether that was due to rain or philosophy doesn't matter.

Their best plays last week came in the passing game, and so far, despite his fumble, Keenum is playing awfully well. The Redskins will face a 3rd and 4 to start the second quarter after a run towards the far sideline lost a yard. Terry McLaurin draws a pass interference which gives the ball to the Redskins at the two yard-line. A heavy dose of McLaurin is just what the doctor ordered. On the very next play, Keenum is nearly picked after throwing the ball a full yard behind McLaurin.

After getting away with that, a handoff to Adrian Peterson loses ground setting up another third down, which comes up short. A 21 yard field goal ties the game at three. After a holding penalty, the Vikings hit a screen pass for 18 yards to Dalvin Cook and then a wide open Diggs for another 34 yards. On first and goal from the 10 Cousins ate the ball and took a sack by Matt Ionnadis.

One play later he takes another, this by defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, forcing a field goal by Dan Bailey, which was successful. In injury news, Quinton Dunbar is questionable to return with a hamstring injury while Josh Norman returned to the field as it seems a healthy Fabian Moreau has been pulled due to leaving Stefon Diggs unattended.

Here is his most recent effort. Stop reading if this has been said before, an unsuccessful first down run doesn't matter to Terry McLaurin who converts a second and 10 with ease. For the third time tonight, a drive lasts over six minutes and ends in a field goal. Vikings 19, Redskins 9. Haskins overthrows an open man, and safety Anthony Harris is the beneficiary. Big momentum swing there. Anthony Harris comes up with the clutch redzone interception for the Vikings!

Washington answers with another field goal to keep within a touchdown late in the third quarter. Vikings 16, Redskins 9. Another big play to Diggs — and another goal-to-go stall — sets up another field goal. Vikings 16, Redskins 6.

Case Keenum has been downgraded to OUT. He goes three-and-out. Dalvin Cook's second effort on third-and-goal results in a 4-yard score just before halftime. Vikings 13, Redskins 6. And right before halftime, dalvincook punches it in from 4-yards out! Hopkins makes his second short one of the night to tie it up. Zero punts and zero touchdowns in the first 28 minutes. It was another big game for Dalvin Cook as well. He ran the ball 23 times for 98 yards and the only touchdown of the evening for either team.

He also caught five passes for 73 yards, mostly in the screen game. Alexander Mattison had another very nice performance in relief of Cook, carrying the ball 13 times for 61 yards. The Vikings did not allow a touchdown to the Redskins, who have now gone two consecutive games without putting the ball into the end zone.

They also did not punt on the evening. The Redskins fall to and travel to play the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 action.
