After a short week following the first game of the season, the Washington Football Team was back at FedEx Field on Thursday evening for a key game against a division rival, the New York Giants.
It seems peculiar to say that the second game of the season is a make or break contest, but that is what Washington and New York were essentially facing after both teams went down to defeat in the first game of the season. Franchises that start the season 0-2 rarely make the playoffs and both teams were in desperate need of a victory on Thursday night.
