Running becomes a mystery

The Washington Football Team running backs are an interesting bunch for sure. What was considered to be the strength of the team in July is one of the more perplexing groups on the roster and perhaps the league.

Road to playoffs narrows

Seven games to grow. To improve. To ready for 2021. All good things. But to make the 2020 playoffs? It’s not the easiest route.

Rivera picks the wrong passer

Cancer treatments won't stop Rivera

Defensive line way underperforms

The Washington Football Team's defensive line was expected to be a strength in 2020. It's been anything but that through the first third of the season, though. The projected anchor of the defense is taking on water and largely stuck in neutral.

Defensive line fulfills high expectations

It was the tip of the spear followed by the old guard. Washington’s defensive line lived up to expectations in its opener against Philadelphia.
