Redskins Week 5 Reality Checks: The Patriots are coming
The Redskins host the Patriots at FedEx field this Sunday and a 15-point spread doesn’t seem to quite do the mismatch justice.
The Patriots are bringing a 4-0 record, a dominant defense, the league’s best coach, and a Hall of Fame quarterback into town, with a decade-plus of consistency, cohesion, domination, and confidence trailing behind them. When they arrive at FedEx field, they will enter something similar to the Twilight Zone, where there are dead men walking all around, nobody is sure why they are here and what they are doing, everybody has smiles on their faces that are definitively disingenuous, and the overall stench of decay hangs over the entire operation.
