Run Ryan, run.
As Redskins fans got a glimpse of last year, running back Ryan Torain has the ability to put the team on his back and flat-out produce. He finished the day with 19 rushes for 135 yards, and a 7.1 yards per carry average. This was his fourth career 100-yard game, and the second-highest production of his career.
He was also your runaway (pun intended) winner of Most Valuable Redskin with 68 percent of the vote.
But credit cannot be taken away from Tim Hightower today, either. Despite getting bottled up on the ground, he was solid in pass protection, and once again saved the day by keeping Rams points off the board. In Week 1 against the Giants, it was Hightower that was the last line of defense against a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Today, it was Hightower again who chased down Justin King’s interception return to prevent the touchdown.

Redskins Go Into Bye Week 3-1 with Win Against Winless Rams
The Washington Redskins did what they had to do with a dominant running game and beat the Rams 17-10. The Redskins were extremely rough a few times with a couple hits on defenseless Ram players on the return, but luckily for them it was only 15 yards and no fines (yet). They really should consider fair catch signals. No excuses though for the way they hit. The defense did get...
Third Quarter Thoughts
The Rams have one of the best in-stadium promotions that I’ve ever seen, where a fan has 30 seconds to unravel an entire roll of streamer paper in 30 seconds. This also happens to be one of my cat’s favorite games.
Even with an assist by the clock operator, the selected Rams fan could not unravel the streamer in time, although she won something anyway. And that’s your Edward...

How does a team respond to a loss in Week 3? Come out with an aggressive game plan in Week 4.
