“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.” That’s a very simple statement from Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi but it’s so very fitting for the current state of affairs of the 2016 Washington Redskins. They’ve had some tough breaks, lost some close games, but their record stands at 4-3-1; they are still in the playoff contention.
Facing adversity has been a reoccurring theme for the franchise the past few seasons. During the 2015 season the Redskins struggled early, posting a 3-4 record before their Week 8 bye.
