After the final whistle, after an afternoon with as many boos as cheers from the home fans, the Washington Redskins retreated to a very quiet locker room. Anyone walking in would think they had lost.

As tight end Chris Cooley put it: "Everyone was a little down in here."

Then special teams coach Danny Smith spoke up.

"In the middle of Danny Smith's speech, he said: 'Well, we kicked three damn field goals,"' Cooley said. "And everyone laughed."
