CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the second time in three weeks, the Washington Redskins face the difficult challenge of going on the road to play an undefeated opponent.
The Redskins, who are winless on the road, play the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.
Two weeks ago, the Redskins could have pushed the New England Patriots in a 27-10 loss, but they were hampered by their own mistakes — most notably the seven dropped passes that prevented the offense from gaining any traction.
Washington can get away with mistakes or bad starts against teams such as Tampa Bay, but defensive end Chris Baker acknowledged the Redskins will once again need a near-perfect effort to compete with Carolina.
