Washington Redskins coach Marty Schottenheimer has had little reason to praise his team's wide receivers this season.
But Sunday's game against the New York Giants was different.
During the 35-21 victory, the Redskins (2-5) scored three passing touchdowns, doubling the team's output from the previous six games.
"Anytime you come into a new situation like this, it's difficult," said Schottenheimer, who is in his first year coaching the team and began the season 0-5.
"You have to earn trust," Schottenheimer told reporters after the game. "It enables you to play more freely when you don't have to wonder what this guy next to me is going to do."
