ANALYSIS/OPINION:
More than five years ago, I wrote that the Washington Redskins, as a franchise, are haunted by a seemingy inescapable “aura of self-destruction.”
If you needed any more proof — and who knows why you would, given the chaos that has ruled Redskins Park since then — look no further than Sunday’s 34-31 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints.
It was a game that Washington, decimated by injuries, coming off a loss at FedEx Field to Minnesota, going into to New Orleans to face the favored Saints, were leading by 15 points with three minutes left to play.
