Win or no win, the 'Skins defense is rated #1 in the NFL right now.
They're not just going to hand the Patriots a win.
That is what is so great about the NFL, as it really can be that on any given sunday,
the underdog can pull one out. As of right now, their only common
opponent was Miami, who is horrible.
But it will be interesting to see if some of the injured/dinged
up Patriots (Maroney, Seymour, Watson) are back to
full-speed. But don't forget the Patriots D, which while giving up more
points (not sure how many in garbage time, like last week in Mia),
has comparable "yards against" to Washington. NE is also a +8 in
turnovers, tho their D is also one of the more penalized teams in the NFL.
This is a real test for the 'Skins, especially their D. If they win,
they show the caliber of the team they are, and could be.
Go Patriots!
