In the first half, both quarterbacks were moving the ball down the field well, but only the Steelers found the end zone twice.

Washington turned tremendous field position into a field goal to take an early 3-0 lead.
“The call came from the sideline”.
“We just gave the ball away too many times previous year”, Haley said. “We see what kind of coverage they’re in”.
Big Ben didn’t just make mistakes, though.
The Steelers went 2-for-2 on fourth down conversions on the night.
And Redskins coach Jay Gruden offered his support for the other cornerback: “I think Breeland has done such a good job in training camp, and Breeland is one of our corners”. “It just seemed to me that we weren’t in a situation in a game where we could have a ton of run attempts”.
It is with that perspective in mind that I present to you the stat line for Brown’s 2016 regular season opening game that features eight receptions on 11 targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns.
Kirk Cousins threw for 4,166 yards in his breakout campaign in 2015, and he connected for 29 touchdowns.
“We just need to play better in every different way”, Cousins said. “I have total, 100 percent faith in Coach Joe B. Everything he wants us to do, I’m 110 percent”. After forcing a three-and-out, it followed with a 77-yard drive that Chris Thompson capped off with a one-yard touchdown to help his team cut the deficit to 24-16.
Clearly sexually associated content is unacceptable in the league we will have to wait to find out if Brown is punished further than the 15 yard penalty given at the time. Tomlin said the Steelers “play to win”, and Roethlisberger overlooked two other open receivers to throw to Brown. Not that these Steelers are going to panic after one bad quarter in September, but one bad quarter certainly can be the difference between winning and losing a particular game. Washington failed to stretch the field offensively, with DeSean Jackson’s 33-yard reception the Redskins’ only play of more than 20 yards all evening.
A few minutes later, a “Here we go, Steelers, here we go!” chant accompanied rotating yellow towels in the stands. Le’Veon Bell, 24, is serving a three game punishment, also for substance abuse violations.
Leading up to Monday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington, everyone was focused on who was missing from the Steelers’ side.
The Redskins’ two field goals, one from 31 yards and a second from 40 by kicker Dustin Hopkins, provided a temporary 6-0 first-quarter lead for Washington. Not even close. But save for one drive, Cousins didn’t look particularly sharp. It’s a hard matchup for the Redskins, who had one of the NFL’s worst defenses previous year. The Redskins were penalized nine times for 55 yards.
Pittsburgh’s offense was too much for a Washington defense that has something to prove, as Roethlisberger completed 27 of 37 passes for 300 yards. Shazier left the game with a right knee injury and was being evaluated after the game. Washington WR Pierre Garcon started his 100th career game.
