The Week 11 game against the New York Jets was supposed to be one of the most winnable games left on the Redskins schedule. The Jets had just beaten the New York Giants to improve to 2-7, but weren’t considered to be a very good team.
So, the Redskins would have a chance to beat them, right? Or at least stay competitive?
Wrong. They were crushed in a 34-17 loss that looks prettier on the scoreboard than it was in reality.
The Redskins came out flat, allowing the Jets to march down the field early in the game.
