LANDOVER, Md. -- This wasn't supposed to be how the season unfolded. The Washington Football Team would build on 2020, continuing to head in the right direction as it established itself as a worthy team.
Instead, the team is 2-3, looking lost on defense and turning the ball over too much on offense. Washington gives up huge plays every game and, in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the New Orleans Saints, it added another indignity to its season: A botched Hail Mary defense to close out the first half, resulting in a 49-yard touchdown that was too easy to complete.
