WATCH: Dwayne Haskins throws two picks, including brutal pick-6, in first NFL game

Dwayne Haskins would probably like a mulligan on his NFL debut.
Haskins took over for the Washington Redskins early in the first half Thursday night. He did make a couple of nice throws, but things took an ugly turn before long.
His first mistake came on a misread of coverage. Cleveland linebacker Mack Wilson picked up the running back coming out of the backfield, but Haskins never saw him.
Not only did Haskins throw the pick, but he also received a tough stiff arm on what would turn out to be a pick-6 for the Browns:

Haskins’ second pick came on the plus side of the field with just a minute to go before halftime. He overthrew his intended target and was picked off easily by Greedy Williams:

Haskins entered the half 5 of 8 for 90 yards and the two interceptions. He has also been sacked once.
