Following their fourth home loss of the season — a disheartening 3-2 defeat at the hands of conference rival Philadelphia — the Revs now find themselves behind the Union and below the playoff red line for the first time since Week 3. They face an uphill battle in regaining early season form, with seven of their final eleven matches this season coming away from Gillette. Their road journey begins on Sunday night with a trip to the District of Columbia to face a DC United squad rejuvenated by the presence and performance of newly-acquired England legend Wayne Rooney.
