A Complete Debacle From Start to Finish for WFT

They benched Dwayne Haskins. Kyle Allen got injured & Alex Smith made his return. None of it mattered. The WFT were blown out by the Rams.

Landover, Maryland -- 

It rained, it poured and if you stayed to end - you were probably snoring. 

Unfortunately - only the Washington Football Team franchise knows how to completely ruin the few good moments they ever have.

What a complete disaster. The Rams dropped Washington to (1-4) with a 30-10 loss at rainy FedExField, but that only tells part of the story.

**Kyle Allen was injured late in the first half, leading to the dramatic return of Alex Smith for the first time in 700 days. 

**Washington's quarterbacks were sacked eight times, four times by Aaron Donald and three times by backup inside linebacker Troy Reeder. 

**The Washington offense racked up a robust 108 net yards on 52 plays.

**Against a Rams defense that was allowing 4.99 yards per rushing attempt, Washington only had 38 yards on 14 attempts with two of those coming on quarterback scrambles. 

***Jared Goff was terrific in the first half, opening the game 7/7 on a scoring drive and finishing with 309 yards and a couple of passing touchdowns. 

**After the game, Ron Rivera said that as long as Kyle Allen was healthy when they return to the practice field Wednesday, he would start against the New York Giants next Sunday. 

***Smith talked to reporters after the game as well and said it was good to get hit the first time and that he was appreciative of everyone who helped make this return a reality.
