Some folks in Washington got off to a good start today.
Taking advantage of an early interception of Derek Carr, Washington’s out to a quick 7-0 lead on the Raiders.
After safety Montae Nicholson picked off Carr on the second play of the game, his teammates moved downfield in a hurry.
Kirk Cousins capped an eight-play, 67-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass to running back Chris Thompson. Cousins did most of the work himself, as Samaje Perine gained just 9 yards on his first five carries.
