Redskins Pumped After Win No. 1

OK, it was the preseason and the games don’t actually begin counting until they take on the New Orleans Saints Sept. 9, but that doesn’t mean the Washington Redskins shouldn’t be fired up about their first win of the year.

Washington went into Ralph Wilson Stadium and handed the Buffalo Bills a 7-6 loss Thursday night, opening the preseason with win No. 1.

The players were understandably jacked up after the game, as evidenced by their tweets immediately after getting on the team bus and heading home:
