Touched on this in the Game thread, but deserves its own, IMO, given the woes of our kicking game over the last few years.
6 punts. 0 punt returns. 3 punts inside the 20, and I believe at least two of those were within the 5. With field position being such a huge factor in the game, this was a big difference.
Also, on kickoffs, Washington had 3 total returns for a TOTAL of 20 yards. One of those was because of a slip (which had me laughing) and another thanks to a nice bounce on a squib kick, but when you can hold a team to a 6.7 yard average return on kick offs, you're ecstatic about it.
