Keim ESPN Washington:
"The issues with the Redskins' run blocking stem from all over this summer. At times the starters all have missed a block that's led to a loss or a bad run. The tight ends need to help more, too. And the Redskins' play-action game hasn't been successful at all; that has to be a big part of their offense. They've shown zero rhythm in their passing game – even when the protection has given quarterback Kirk Cousins time."

Archdeacon Dayton Daily News: Reminiscing with the NFL’s first black quarterback
"By 1953, the Texans had become the Baltimore Colts and that led to another mettle-testing moment during a game with the Washington Redskins. As Knight recounted in her book:
Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, who for decades refused to have a black player on his roster, ended up standing behind Taliaferro during team introductions that day.
“N——- should never be allowed to do anything but push wheelbarrows,” he said loudly.
Taliaferro heard him and ended up dumping a wheelbarrow load of points on the ‘Skins.
“I went out that day,” Taliaferro laughed, “and scored three touchdowns.”
