Redskins in third-and-long void

Third-and-long is more like third-and-forever for the Washington Redskins.

When Colt McCoy completed a 22-yard pass to Andre Roberts on third-and-10 late in the first half Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, it ended a streak of 38 failures in one of football's most adverse situations.

The Redskins are just two for 48 this season when it is third down with 10 or more yards to go. A roster that includes playmakers such as Robert Griffin III, DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Jordan Reed and Alfred Morris has to point to the McCoy-Roberts connection and a Kirk Cousins-to-Ryan Grant pass in Week 2 as its only examples of success.
