The Washington Redskins haven’t had a successful start to the 2019 season, but they haven’t gotten a lucky draw, either. Their first two matchups were against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, both divisional opponents who’d appeared in the playoffs last year.
Still, this tough draw can be used as an excuse for the bad product put on the field, and it shouldn’t be. The Redskins have had it tough on the football field, but they’ve also been kind of bad to start the year. These two truths can coexist with one another, and against the stingy Bears defense, there’s a chance the theme continues.
