Heated coin toss sets tone for chippy encounter between Redskins, Seahawks

“I was the right tackle on that,” Montgomery said. “We had a couple different right guards. It was a combination of me getting a little bit of push and also the right guard stuck a better hand in there, also.”

Gano’s botched extra point after Anthony Armstrong’s 50-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter kept the Seahawks within a field goal at 20-17.

Extra points

• The Redskins scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time in 16 games dating to last November. They baffled the Seahawks‘ defense with play-action and marched 80 yards on 14 plays. It culminated with Davis‘ 2-yard catch in the end zone.

• Rookie left guard Maurice Hurt returned from an injured left knee and started the game in place of Tyler Polumbus.

• Sav Rocca’s punt with 39 seconds left in the first quarter resulted in his first touchback this season.

• Rookie running back Evan Royster gained 3 yards in the second quarter on his first career carry.

• Leon Washington’s 51-yard kickoff return to open the second half was the longest the Redskins have allowed this season.
