I have never watched a more dramatic game of football in my entire life. The Saints, with their perfect 11-0 record, played the Redskins today at home, in a game that almost made me cry. Honestly. It's so depressing that I'm having a hard time writing about it. But I shall try my best...
Everyone knows how bad the Redskins are and expected them to lose. Which they did. Anyways, the Redskins had a chance to make football history and they blew it in the 4th quarter, which I will now call the 4th quarter curse. The Redskins have had the lead numerous times in the game, but when it comes to the 4th quarter they always manage to blow it.
The Redskins were up 30-23 in the fourth quarter. It was 4th down, and the Redskins brought out the field goal unit. Shaun Suisham previous missed several field goals against Dallas. However, this field goal was only 23 yards, and would ensure a Redskins victory. Suisham’s kick was wide right, and reality sunk in. There was 1:52 left on the clock, which gave the Saints enough time to tie the game. LaRon Landry had been covering Robert Meachem, who was wide open and able to score the touchdown that tied the game.
The game then went into overtime. The Redskins won the coin toss and chose to receive. Mike Sellers fumbled the ball, which took several replays to determine, and it was recovered by the Saints on the Redskins 37-yard line. The Saints were able to run the ball to the 1-yard line, and an 18-yard field goal won the game for the Saints, 33-30.
Although I am extremely bitter and disappointed over this game, it’s nice to know that we rocked the Saints, and made it extremely difficult for them to win. The Redskins played undoubtedly the best game of the season, even with several players on the IR. However, an 11-1 Saints is something that Redskins fan would’ve cherished forever.
