Washington's first touchdown came from the defense

Washington's first touchdown came from the defense. Following a 58-yard punt by Sav Rocca, the Redskins backed up Cincinnatito its 1-yard line. On second down, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan came untouched from the left and drilled Dalton as he let go of a swing pass intended for tailback BenJarvus Green-Ellis. But the ball landed instead in the hands of linebacker Rob Jackson, who made a diving catch in the end zone for the first interception and touchdown of his career.

Coupled with last week's 30-yard fumble return for a touchdown by cornerback Josh Wilson, the play gave Washington defensive touchdowns in consecutive games for the first time since 1994.

But from that point on, the defense offered few other highlights.

With Cincinnati facing second-and-20 from the Washington 48 with 3:37 left in the first quarter, Wilson fell down attempting to cover receiver Armon Binns, who caught a pass from Dalton and raced untouched for a 48-yard touchdown.
