Playing on Thursday night comes with its disadvantages. The short week is brutal at times, especially if a team is dealing with injuries. Those extra three days can make all the difference for players trying to recover in time for Sunday.
The positives of playing on Thursday night? You get the extra rest heading into the next week of action, which is where the Washington Football Team sits after disposing of the New York Giants in primetime in Week 2.
Lucky for them, because Washington will hit the road to face a Buffalo Bills team that is fresh off drubbing the Miami Dolphins 35-0 on the road.
