“No, man. We came out there today and just put it all out there on the line”. (Offensive coordinator Sean McVay) and myself are doing the best we can at getting the good plays. There was, ‘no, you get a warning.’ There was not any of that. But Manning’s pass, intended for tight end Will Tye, was picked off by Redskins’ cornerback Quinton Dunbar, who made a one-handed grab.
