In the early minutes of the second quarter the Washington Redskins continue to chip away at the Rams’ early lead. Graham Gano kicked a 24-yard field goal, his second of the afternoon, to cut it to 14-13.
Run defense proved to be the Rams’ achilles heel on the drive that led up to the field goal; Ryan Torain and Donovan McNabb picked up rushing plays of 36 and 26 yards to neutralize Donnie Jones’s long punt.
