As is to be expected, the Washington Redskins showed they’re not quite ready for prime time in their preseason opener. Although the result was a feel-good 23-6 victory over New England, the Redskins’ defense twice ran afoul of strict, new rules on pass interference and illegal contact. The first-team offense sputtered in the red zone, settling for a field goal instead of a touchdown. Place kicker Kai Forbath missed a 46-yard field goal.
