For the third straight game, the offense looked more confused than Democratic pollsters. Add two injured running backs and two injured offensive linemen, and Washington’s postseason chances that once seemed certain are now flickering amid the darkness.
Yes, there are six games left so anything can happen. But, nothing good happened in Sunday’s loss. Losing running back Brian Robinson on the first play with an ankle injury hobbled the game plan even if he briefly returned. Losing Ekeler was a double whammy for the future. Look for a whole lot of Jeremy McNichols against Tennessee as you Google his bio.
