The Washington Football Team should’ve sat Dustin Hopkins against the Lions.

The Washington Football Team came very close to beating the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Despite being down by as many as 21 points, the team was able to tie the game with under a minute remaining before allowing the Lions to get into field goal range thanks to a combination of poor coverage and a bad penalty.
