Washington (4-5) turned a Drew Brees interception into 38-yard Nick Rose field goal and then added touchdowns by Chris Thompson (25-yard reception) and Samaje Perine (2-yard run) for their scoring.

The Saints (7-2) scored on a 52-yard Wil Lutz field goal and a 36-yard Mark Ingram II II run. Lutz added a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the half.
