Pipe bursts overhead at FedEx Field, soaking Washington Football Team fans

It hasn't been easy for Washington Football Team fans in recent years -- you know, with the losing record, the franchise being embroiled in controversy and the entire NFC East division often referred to as a "dumpster fire" for its lackluster performance as a whole last season -- and Sunday was no exception.

In Washington's season-opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, a series of unfortunate events unfolded at Fedex Field. Most notably, starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was sidelined with an injury 20 minutes into the game.

From there things went about as well as jaded WFT fans would expect: An exalted defense no showed, they fumbled on their own 3-yard line, missed a critical field goal, gave up 14-18 third down conversions and fans were doused as a pipe broke at the stadium.
