Picking through the wreckage of a once-promising 7-9 season is never enjoyable.
Nonetheless, as I’ve had a few days to ponder the 2018 Washington Redskins, I’ve unearthed one additional, glaring indignity. And I’m not even talking about the awful non-call that almost certainly cost the Redskins the Texans game. Instead, I mean the injustice of the postseason honors snub for Redskins punter Tress Way.
This year, Way led the NFL with 41 punts inside the 20 (PITT). While leading the league in that category is worth some small measure of celebration on its own, even more impressive is the fact that Way pulled this off without a single touchback all season.
