the redskins fans are definitely glowing this morning. kristen fish soldier live in dupont circle getting reaction. smiles abound. good morning kristen. >> reporter: smiles abound of course. a great day to be in redskins nation. you know i think the front page of the washington post says it all. the headline, believe it. rg iii shines as the redskins stun the saints in the season opener. you know, i think fans were pleasantly stunned as well. they knew and hoped rg iii would be able to deliver in his nfl debut, but there have been a lot of times when redskins fans have been sorely disappointed. they didn't want to get their hopes up too much. now this morning, relief. they are overjoyed. i caught up with one fan. take a listen to the day after the big win. >> what did you think of rg iii's big debut? >> i think it was great.

nobody expected it. i watched the game, throughout the game i said man, this is a really what we got for the draft pick. so i'm glad he is here. i expect him to improve throughout the year. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: you think this is the beginning of the new era for the redskins? >> i think so. this is just one game. >> reporter: temper or expectations? >> temper our expectations. i know a lot will be happy and expect playoffs, but we have to see how it goes throughout the year. >> reporter: redskins fans tempering their expectations this morning. this is, after all, one win in the full season but redskins off to a very solid start. this is what everybody is talking about this morning. i have got to say even though the nats lost yesterday, here we have our baseball team number one right now. we have the redskins so far undefeated, it is a pretty good time to be a washington sports fan, right mike?

absolutely. 73% of his passes he completed yesterday so a great start for the redskins. kristen fisher live in dupont circle this morning. and our redskins coverage continues. we have a photo gallery from the game there. get the nine things redskins fans learned from the game and you can see video earlier in the week of rg iii playing horse. power crews did an excellent job bringing back electricity after saturday's storm. the strong wind and rain caused damage all across the region, the worst of it was in northern virginia, like this mess on south shore lane in reston. the line of storms brought down trees on to homes and cars, fortunately, there are no reports of anyone being seriously hurt. the intercounty connector hasn't even been open a year yet and there are problems with

proof the bridges. the bridges have hairline cracks this them. one carries the ic cover route 29 and the state blames a miscalculation by the contractors. the cracks will be repaired, the hairline cracks were found in three other bridges earlier this year. jessica doyle is back with another your money report. >> the so-called fiscal cliff we are heading toward and is congress going to do anything about it? >> they are just getting back from a five week vacation. that must be knight nice right? and they are going to get to work for a short pre election session. they are facing down a slew of deadlines in the prospect of the debilitating fiscal cliff in january. but lawmakers are expected to take a path on the big issues of taxes and spending cuts. instead they are likely to focus on doing the bare minimum, at issue right now a six month temporary spending bill to finance the day-to-day

operations of the federal government. the federal cliff refers to a program of tax hikes and government spending cuts that will be triggered in the new year unless lawmakers come to some sort of agreement to stop them. many have predicted another recession if the u.s. heads over that so-called fiscal cliff. in the meantime the government is selling more of its shares in aig. the government launched a $182 billion bailout of the major insurer back in 2008. aig says the treasury department is selling $18 billion worth of its common shares to institutional investors. aig received the biggest of the wall street bailout packages. get ready to hear a lot of ads asking questions like are you falling asleep after dinner? the advertising claims are that you could have low t. the hittest big marketing push by the nation's drug companies

the west this morning. noon sunny and 73. we are looking at temperatures this morning which are in the 50s in many areas north and west, thanks to the clear size overhead. got a little bit of a breeze out of the northwest. does it feel nice with 50 in cumberland, 66 in annapolis, and 61 going up into the mid and upper 70s, a great start to the week. weatherwise i wish i could say the same for traffic but don't shoot the messenger. here's monika samtani. you know, on the southbound side of the bw parkway, monday morning has not been so great for a lot of commuters, that is because we had a seven vehicle pile up i was talking to park police about it and they said people follow too closely and go too fast early in the morning. if you are heading southbound look at the delay from the

beltway past route 410. i'm going to show what you it looks like from our sky 9. look at that delay solid at 6:30 in the morning, i'm so sorry, i think you are going to be late. let's go become over to our maps. normal slow stuff and beyond that toward route 50, we'll take a live allegiance at the allegiance bridge here. things look great across the river. back at 6:43. redskins fans were expecting a lot from rg iii in this nfl debut. >> an outstanding debut for the redskins. the redskins were in new orleans, a tough place to play, facing the saints.

rg iii threw a pair of touchdown passes, including this 88-yard touchdown play hooking up with pierre. redskins upset mightily, the saints 40-32. after the game rg iii said the day could have gone even better. >> we could have scored a few points but nothing is ever perfect. you know there are some passes i wish i had become. there are some plays i wish i had back. falling on a keep are, you know all those things. but i'm not going to be debby downer. we did a good job, we won the game. >> that is the bottom line, they won the game. notice rg iii was so exited to talk with reporters he didn't even shower first and still had the ball in his hands. >> good call. kristen fisher is live in dupont circle getting reactions

from skins fans, what are you hearing? >> reporter: they are elated. redskins fans could not be happier with rg iii's headline performance. the washington post headline reads a brazil yont beginning. griffin passes for 320 yards, -- a brilliant beginning. griffin passes for 320 yards. i think that will be the picture everybody remembers this morning. inside, front page of the sports section, right from the start, look at that big smile on his face. i think that says it all. then finally the front page of usa today welcome to the nfl, and they choose rg iii for the big center picture. so he is the talk of the nfl this morning. he is certainly the talk of those in washington.

i caught up with one big redskins fan right as he was about to get on the metro. >> reporter: you watched the game yesterday. what did you think of rg iii. >> spectacular, did everything expected, better than a rookie you would think could ever do. great to watch. >> reporter: think it is the beginning of a new era in redskins football? >> we sure hope so. >> reporter: about time right? i don't definitely. 20 years is long enough. >> i think everybody was comfortable with the game plan we had coming in about a lot of things we had been shown in the preseason. i think everybody executed it to a t. >> >> we went out there and executed our game plan. offense put up 40 points. anytime the offense puts up 40 points and hold the ball as long as they did, it is our responsibility as the defense to make sure we seal the victory. >> reporter: now in my opinion the real reason the redskins

won, not rg iii, it is my seven-month-old golden doodle. she is wearing her very first redskins jersey. it is kind of a good luck charm. she watched the whole game, i think we are going to have to keep it on her every redskins game for the rest of the season. what do y'all think? >> home and away jerseys and those pink ones they throw on ladies every now and again. >> thanks kristen. the ravens hosting cincinnati, kickoff at 7:00. the ravens went 12-4 last season and they lost to the patriots. we could learn later on today when it was a tornado that hit northern virginia over the weekend. several houses are condemned,

scores of trees are toppled. residents say they have never seen a storm like this before. >> we had a big wind coming this way. and like this. >> the national weather service conducted surveys in reston. that believes a tornado did not touchdown, but they are planning to look at the data one more time today. violence returns to a pharmacy in northeast dc again. police say a customer walked into a rite aid on rye land avenue near franklin street. the gunman is still on the run this morning. this is the same rite aid where an employee was shot and paralyzed during a robbery back in april. a new athletic field at notre dame prep in maryland is dedicated for yardley love. she was the uva lacrosse player

analysts estimate 22 million iphones will be sold from october through december. the ipad could be getting new competition. today toys r us is expected to announce a new tablet computer just for kids. it could be available late next month. here's a freebie for your kids. people love the free haircuts for kids program last month so much j. c. penney will be making this offer permanent. 1.6 million kids received free haircuts in august. >> we think it is too expensive just for kids, $150? >> i guess this is a cheaper persian of an ipad for them. the band action item is in
