Winner Delighted By Redskin Win

Washington AP Charley Winner the Redskins defensive backfield coach received one of three game balls for contributing to the 20-13 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. He praised team progress while stressing the need to continue improving. Jimmie Jones and Richie Pettibone also earned game balls for key defensive plays that helped hold the Cardinals’ offense. The defense, last year’s league bottom unit, limited the Cardinals to seven rushing yards and shut them out for 64 minutes, with Jones pressuring Pete Beathard and Pettibone intercepting a pass set up a Curt Knight field goal. The Redskins built a 20-0 lead before the Cardinals finally scored.
