The Ravens took a 3-0 lead at 6:15 of the first quarter on a 21-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka and it held up for the first quarter.
While the Ravens marched on the Redskins both times they had the ball in the opening quarter, the Ravens defense shut down the Redskins on two first-quarter drives and forced punts.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was 7-for-11 for 86 yards in the quarter.
