- Undrafted rookie running back Jaret Patterson continued to put on a show. The University of Buffalo alum rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown, while adding three catches for 25 yards. With one more preseason game to go, it seems Patterson is already a lock to make the final roster. Bonus points: he grew up in Maryland and is a long-time Redskins fan.
- Landon Collins finally looked like a player worthy of the deal he signed with Washington two years ago—a six-year, $84 million contract. The strong safety was all over the field, showing flashes of his All Pro days as a New York Giant. He scared Bengals rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase into dropping a catchable pass. He nearly demolished tight end Thaddeus Moss. After suffering a torn Achilles last October, many assumed Collins' best days were behind him. Despite the negative rumors, he insisted the recovery process had gone well and switching to the linebacker position was out of the question.
- Dustin Hopkins proved (for now) that his kicking woes last week were minor glitches. He went 3/3 with his field goal attempts last night.
- Rookie cornerback Benjamin St-Juste looked very promising. He was tight in coverage while seeing a lot of playing time, which should bode well for his confidence.
