Entering this season, the Redskins' offensive line wasn't known for performing in beautiful harmony with precise choreography like "The Five Heartbeats."
It took three quarters Sunday for the Washington Redskins' offense to move the ball effectively without Trent Williams. The left tackle's injury looked bad as his right knee gave out on him early and later when he returned, and he essentially was blocking on one leg.

Right tackle Tyler Polumbus also said he was planning to play after suffering a concussion in the Redskins' victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Right tackle Tyler Polumbus said it's fun to discuss politics because these are "people you care about and go to war with all the time."
