Secondary: C

Eric Reid registered five tackles in his second game as a Carolina Panther while Mike Adams had six, including one for a loss. Adams also broke up a pass to keep Carolina in the game late, forcing the Redskins to attempt a field goal.

There weren’t any turnovers which really made the difference in the ball game. Absent an interception this unit continues to struggle but as a unit it was only their second full game together.

Hopefully, as the practices and game experience continues to mount this group will work themselves into being a more consistent and reliable unit.
