The Washington Football Team improbably defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-17 at Heinz Field on Monday. The Steelers were 11-0 heading into the game.
The victory marked Washington’s first win over Pittsburgh since November 17, 1991. Washington is tied with the New York Giants for the NFC East lead with a 5-7 record.
The Washington Football Team destroyed the Dallas Cowboys 41-16 on Thanksgiving day, which is always fun. What was even nicer was that WFT offensive coordinator Scott Turner ran some trickery during the game that was inspired by the cult classic movie, Little Giants, starring Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill. I’m serious.
While the play didn’t result in a touchdown, it did give Washington a first down and the respect of everyone watching at home on TV.
The Washington Capitals played the Philadelphia Flyers on national television, Wednesday night. During NBCSN’s pregame coverage which featured a roundtable of Liam McHugh, Mike Milbury, and Keith Jones, the network presented a poll playing off the recent Alex Smith trade by the Washington Redskins.
NBC Sports asked its viewers simply Which Alex will win a championship first: Alex Ovechkin or Alex Smith?
