The Redskins won. https://t.co/pwoR7jXfGr

Turnover margin (4-0) and Tress Way. It worked again. I'll be damned.

Get this.

The @Redskins have now played 9 games without a single lead change.

They are the first team with no lead changes through 9 games since the 1954 … Redskins! #WASvsTB

The #Redskins will enter Week 11 against the Texans having been in 1st place of the NFC East standings for a sixth consecutive week.

This is great research as well....#SaluteToService https://t.co/5az4rziREm

The Redskins won despite having 285 yards and 16 points. Make fun of the win if you want to. That was a dazzling defensive performance against a really good offensive team, and on the road. 6-3. First place.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

Today's win means the #Redskins are guaranteed to enter December with a winning record for just the third time in the last 17 years.

2018: ?
2016: 6-4-1
2008: 7-5

Asked about his since-deleted tweet from last night, #Redskins linebacker Zach Brown smiled and twice said, “I ain’t answering that.” Around the same time, fellow linebacker Mason Foster chimed in, cracking, “He got hacked!”

— Tarik El-Bashir (@Tarik_ElBashir) November 11, 2018

Zach Brown had a big game after his curious tweet about the #Redskins' coaching staff last night. He made 9 tackles, two for loss, and forced a fumble today.

Redskins find a way... https://t.co/xhNxnLe6YZ

The Redskins planned on letting the Bucs take their 10 to 15 at a time while not allowing the home run. They bet on Ryan Fitzpatrick doing some Fitz things and they bet right.

“If that’s what it takes to win a game, I really don’t care. I’ll save the fantasy football to the guys that play it.” — #Redskins Coach Jay Gruden on Sunday’s 16-3 win over the Bucs. pic.twitter.com/SfzpDtfuwg

Giving up 500 yards and only 3 points in the same game should be impossible. Two missed field goals helped. So did the Norman INT, the Anderson punch/fumble and the Smith sack/fumble.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

My favorite takeaway from the Redskins' 16-3 win over the Bucs...

According to @pfref, only one team since 1940 had gained at least 400 total yards and scored three or fewer points in a game. One! Tampa Bay had 501 TOTAL YARDS and joined the club.https://t.co/CmVhxX0x3P

Redskins Nation, soak it in! Forget what you saw, stop bitching, your team is 6-3! Would you have taken that before the season?!? #redskins

— Chick Hernandez (@MrChickSports) November 11, 2018

The Redskins offense is awful and lacks play-makers but it may get Jamison Crowder and Chris Thompson back next weekend. Trey Quinn too. Trent Williams after that. Help is coming.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

I thought under the circumstances the #Redskins offense and Alex Smith played ok (yes, he missed Vernon badly). They are never going to be the ‘91 offense so expect low scoring games. Defense, running the ball, and no turnovers is this teams make up.

— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) November 11, 2018

The #Redskins came into this game only allowing 350 receiving yards to opposing tight ends on 40 receptions and 3 scores. Today, against Howard and Brate, 2 catches for 29 yards so season total over 9 games is 42 receptions, 379 yards. They have historically been awful vs. TE.

— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) November 11, 2018

I just re-watched the phantom red-zone holding call on Moses, three times. They definitely meant to call it on 76; the ref even spoke to him about it. No one else on the line committed even borderline holding. Just an unbelievably bad call.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) November 11, 2018

Alex Smith was more accurate today than he has been all season. Ended the day 19/27 for 178 yards. No great throws/plays but no turnovers given to the opponent. #Redskins

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

Josh Doctson only caught 4 passes but he made two outstanding catches including a TD while being drilled in the back of the endzone. He caught all four of the passes thrown to him. #Redskins

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

Maurice Harris caught all five of the passes thrown to him. He went for 52 yards. He has now taken over the lead in catches and yards among the #Redskins' wideouts.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

Asked Alex Smith for general thoughts and he immediately pointed to the miss to Davis and the late throw away as opportunities he missed, but he thought the line did a good job in front and they did enough to win.

What more does Tress Way have to do to get an A+?

Josh Norman was asked about playing better on the road. This prompted his thoughts on recent home crowds at FedEx Field. pic.twitter.com/ceewBP7mR6

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) November 11, 2018

Cancelled out by a holding call on Norman, but this is a strong rush from Cassanova McKinzy, having just been called up from the practice squad. Got seriously low, even went to the ground, to get around the LT #Redskins pic.twitter.com/HJF0xt82Im

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 11, 2018

Josh Norman voiced some frustrations with Redskins fans postgame: “They just boo everything and aren’t really behind us. We don’t really feel that [support]. And I’m tired of it, really. [Shoot], we can play all the games on the road if you ask me." https://t.co/d4ghcoQP5V

The Redskin could go 3-4 the rest of the way and still finish with a winning record. They've given themselves a lot of wiggle room. If they beat Philly once they'll be in solid shape.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 11, 2018

Really a no-lose scenario for #Redskins fans tonight;

Cowboys win, and the Skins hold on the NFC East tightens.

Eagles win, and the Cowboys season is officially dead.

Under fire, #Bucs coach Dirk Koetter told reporters that he took over play-calling today from OC Todd Monken. As for a reason, he said: “I had my reasons.” ‍♂️

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 11, 2018

wow this could explain a lot. Pulling offensive play calling for a team that was top 10 in offensive scoring is not something you typically see https://t.co/XkIZY2vm6W
