Washington has been struggling on the field in recent seasons, and worse, it has been struggling to sell out massive FedEx Field.
Capacity for NFL games at FedEx is 82,000; while Washington got close to that that number for its Week 2 home opener against NFC East rival Dallas, with the official gamebook saying paid attendance was 75,128, that number was significantly lower a week later when the Chicago Bears came to town on Monday night, with game attendance listed at 67,237.
There might be 67,000 fans at FedEx this Sunday, but many of them will be rooting for the visiting team.
