ASHBURN, Va. -- The worst nightmare occurred for the Washington Football Team. A roster that continued to lose key players endured a week when those losses were too much to overcome. It also leads to a pivotal question during a three-game skid: Was it just about the player losses, or did Washington swerve down a road that threatens to derail any progress?
Washington wasn't good enough to overcome those losses, or even stay competitive in Sunday's 56-14 road loss against the Dallas Cowboys (11-4).
It was Washington's second loss in five days.
