If you’re a fan of the Washington Football Team, heading into a Sunday night after watching your team lose is not anything new. What is new, however, is witnessing a loss from your team, one in which they had a chance to win right before the final whistle, and treating it with a sense of apathy.
Washington lost to the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon by five points, 20-15, and they almost were able to pull off an improbable comeback victory after the offense woke up in the fourth quarter and mounted a couple of scoring drives. In the end, the game didn’t mean much, though. With the New York Giants still left to play on Sunday night against the Cleveland Browns (Editor’s Note: The Giants lost) Washington still held on to the top spot in the NFC East, and their chances at the playoffs remain strong. The loss didn’t do much to change anything, other than maybe sway fans either one way or the other when it comes to the future of Dwayne Haskins, or show that this team actually has a chance to beat some good teams if they’re disciplined enough to stop getting off to slow starts.
Regardless of how you feel, we can say that we learned some things about the team on Sunday, while we remain just as indecisive on some other matters as well. Here are our biggest takeaways from the game:
