The Game-Winning Drive ⬇️

Taylor Heinicke is so in control in these situations. O-line did a great job in pass pro. Carter, Humphries and McKissic showed up big time.#WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/AFglMqDIHp

You had to have CRUSHED at Old Dominion how'd you get overlooked??

Working on a piece on Washington’s OL for tomorrow, so here’s a preview clip for you all to enjoy pic.twitter.com/ZQvD2IUXeM

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 5, 2021

Jonathan Allen was once again dominant yesterday.

He was Washington's highest-graded player with a 93.5 overall grade, 2 pressures, and a 26.7% pass-rush win %. He's the best player on this defense and I don't think it's close

— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) October 4, 2021

Per @Wash_PR
Cole Holcomb recorded a team-high nine tackles (four solo) and one tackle for a loss and a forced fumble.

He had that pass defense in EZ on first drive & was part of a turnover blown dead.

He was impactful for sure on Sunday. #WashingtonFootball

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) October 4, 2021

#WashingtonFootball did not allow a touchdown on the Falcons opening drive. This is the first time this season that they accomplished that feat.

They should have allowed one but they did not thanks to Cole Holcomb.

Instead - it was a field goal. Sorry Bobby McCain in advance. https://t.co/0TOq4E4Dzs

Rivera said emphatically that Dustin Hopkins is our kicker. It was said in a way to shut down any talk of change at the position. #WashingtonFootball #NFL @SportsJourney

Go offline for a few and things happen.

Washington Football Team LB Jon Bostic suffered a pec injury yesterday - and there’s a fear it's serious, source confirms. MRI today to determine severity. (@RapSheet 1st)

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 4, 2021

WFT injuries:

*Jon Bostic potentially serious pec injury, source confirms

* Brandon Scherff sprained MCL. 2-3 weeks per @adamschefter

* Logan Thomas (hamstring) week 2 week (Schefter)

* Cam Sims hamstring soreness, per source. Status tbd

*Dyami Brown (knee), Torry McTyer tbd

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 4, 2021

Tory McTyer out for the year with a torn ACL; Ron Rivera said Jon Bostic likely out for the year with a torn pec.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 4, 2021

With all the injuries some guys will get opportunities, per Ron Rivera:

* OL Saahdiq Charles will be active Sunday

* LB Khaleke Hudson to get a shot with Jon Bostic out. Maybe David Mayo as well.

* TE Sammis Reyes to get a shot with Logan Thomas dealing with a hamstring.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 4, 2021

On the the ESPN daily Podcast today with @PabloTorre, Alex Smith called JD McKissic one of his all-time teammates. Loves the guy. Loves his talent. McKissic is a popular guy in the locker room. Also, Smith was pumped about the win over Atlanta.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 4, 2021

Take 2. ... Washington's Week 4 snap counts:

* With CB BSJ out, Kam Curl (60 snaps) effectively play nickel. Landon Collins & Bobby McCain played 100% of snaps (76).

* Curtis Samuel - 25 of 67 snaps

* Chase Young season-low 80% (61 snaps) but most on DL https://t.co/2XnFRe0Uu0 pic.twitter.com/fy5ly4thie

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 4, 2021

A few positives this Monday morning:

- Terry McLaurin is 7th in receiving yards (354)
- Cole Holcomb is 4th in tackles (41)
- The offensive line is 2nd in sacks allowed (4)
- DeAndre Carter leads the NFL in KR yards (333) and is 2nd in avg yards per return 27.75

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) October 4, 2021

In the 2nd half vs Atlanta, Washington's offense had 5 possessions and scored on 4 of them. Offense was pretty darn good today.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 3, 2021

Wow. This is pretty damn spot on

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 5, 2021

Washington ranks:

9th in blitz %
4th in hurry %
8th in pressure %

However,

29th in total sacks.
21st in QB knockdown %.

Greener days are coming, peeps.

— Steve (@StevieWFT) October 4, 2021

Breaking: Federal law enforcement conducted a raid at the WFT practice facility last week. The team has placed Head Trianer Ryan Vermillion on administrative leave. The ongoing criminal investigation is "unrelated to the team," via club.

From me, @JPFinlayNBCS & @JulieCareyNBC.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 4, 2021

This investigation has been going on for some time. I talked to a player who was contacted by a federal agent in the spring with questions about Vermillion's practices.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 4, 2021

Sources say Vermillion's home was searched by DEA agents in full gear at his property near One Loudoun late Friday afternoon, just before close of business.

Ron Rivera just told reporters he has nothing to add to the team's statement.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 4, 2021

Ryan Vermilion has been a polarizing figure behind the scenes for #WashingtonFootball. He & Dr. Robin West had major issues; big part of why she’s out. Alex Smith didn’t trust Vermilion, which was part of why we had so much mystery/confusion w/ Alex’s “calf” injury last Dec/Jan.

— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 4, 2021

Rivera declines to name who is head trainer with Vermillion on leave, says they'll refer to "the doctors."

After today’s bombshell news of WFT trainer Ryan Vermillion being placed on leave, Ron Rivera tells me, ‘I know who Ryan is and last year I trusted Ryan with my health and I would do it again.’ More to come on @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/cZfXrDEpyo

Upon hearing the DEA showed up Friday to #WashingtonFootball's facility:

"While their third down defense has been bad...I wouldn't call it criminal!" #FianceeFootballTakes

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 4, 2021

Washington has forced a 3-and-out on 19% of its opponents drives this season (28th in NFL). Last year? It was 37.2 % (second). Yes, facing good QBs but not the only reason for this. This surprised me: The 4 teams worse than them this year? LAC, KC, LAR and Raiders.

What was Heinicke thinking? Here he is at the 5 yard line and a perfectly good pylon in front of him and he chose to run out of bounds instead of taking the dive! pic.twitter.com/0gWti076Ht

Fangio: 37 years in pro ball I've never seen anything like that. But it was to be expected and we expected it.

Question: Why?

Fangio: Because I just know how they operate. That's just their mode of operation there. Player safety is secondary. https://t.co/mTlWMpp2pY

— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) October 4, 2021

Broncos HC Vic Fangio didn’t not hold back on his opinion of the last play vs the Ravens

Do you agree with him?
pic.twitter.com/IjPPA3apUL

— PFF (@PFF) October 4, 2021

I mean the Ravens didn't use a single cut block, they weren't driving guys off the LOS. They just all escorted Lamar to the left to get 4 yards and then Lamar went down on his own.

About as low-contact a run play in the NFL as you'll ever seen. I don't see the big deal here. https://t.co/ECi3wyFK4N

— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) October 4, 2021

I saw the Cowboys put Randy White in the game to stop a meaningless TD by Eagles scabs during the 1987 strike.

I saw Buddy Ryan call a fake kneel bomb to rub in retaliation later that year.

Fangio was coaching the Saints then. Musta missed it. https://t.co/uBDRBhXioW

Officials call taunting on Raiders' Darren Waller for spiking the ball out of bounds along the sideline after a catch and run.

Justin Herbert completed his 500th pass on #MondayNightFootball, in only his 19th NFL start

Herbert is the first QB in the Super Bowl era to reach 500+ completions before his 20th NFL start

Tom Brady's return to Foxborough is only the No. 2 SNF game of all-time in terms of TV rating.

Still holding down the No. 1 spot?

RGIII and Washington defeat the Cowboys for a playoff spot in Week 17, 2012.
