Jones made a tightrope catch along the sidelines over the top of Wilson. However, Wilson said he did his job. "It was a cover-2, figure that out," Wilson said. In other words: the safety wasn’t there.

Redskins’ third-down struggles hurt offense, defense - Washington Times
"I thought in the first half we had some opportunities to get some momentum going and couldn’t make those third downs," he said. "That’s been pretty consistent for us to be the football team we need to be, and be able to keep someone a little bit more off-balance than we did, we’ve got to convert on those third downs. We were close, had a couple of hands that were very close to making those third downs, but you’ve got to make them."
