At 0-4, the Washington Redskins have little to feel excited about at this point in the season. The team has had some major inconsistencies on the defensive side of the ball, and has looked bad on offense two weeks in a row — with a 24-3 defeat against the New York Giants as the low point so far. Now, the club will have to go against a New England Patriots team that is undefeated after four games and again looking like the NFL’s gold standard.
What stands out in particular about the Patriots is a defense that has allowed only 13 total points during the first quarter of the season, and leads the league in most meaningful statistical categories.
