ASHBURN, Va. -- Five questions facing the Washington Redskins as they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday:
Is this really a "code red" game?
Yes. Coach Jay Gruden used the term, and the Redskins are coming off consecutive losses -- albeit on the road to teams with a combined 9-2 record -- and host a sub .500 team in Tampa Bay. Last season a bad Bucs team beat up the Redskins and won by 20. A repeat performance heading into the bye week? Unacceptable. Any loss would be tough to swallow; it’s not just that the Bucs are considered a bad team (that’s part of it).
