LANDOVER, Md. – The second-to-last game on each NFL team’s preseason slate is often referred to as the ‘dress rehearsal’. After Friday’s performance, the Redskins may want to consider a costume change.
Washington was over-matched by Denver Friday at FedEx Field, 29-17.

However, quarterback Alex Smith, after completing 4-of-6 passes in his Redskins debut last week vs. the Jets, goes just 3-of-8 for 33 yards on the four drives he engineered.
The Redskins, held without a touchdown until Kevin Hogan connected with Simmie Cobbs on an 18-yard touchdown with 10:44 left in the fourth, fall to 1-and-2 in the preseason. They’ll wrap-up their 2018 exhibition slate Thursday at Baltimore – in a game to be broadcast LIVE on News 3.
