But at 3-4 and a half-game out of first place in their division, the Redskins aren't conceding anything as they prepare to play the Patriots (7-0) on the road.
That's all part of why the Patriots are double-digit favorites.
"It's just so hard to win in this league. I don't care who you're playing,Cheap NFL Jerseys Store," defensive end Jason Hatcher said Wednesday. "You all need to understand football. You just can't wake up and beat people. This isn't college."
Washington has finished last in the NFC East eight of the past 11 seasons. New England is the NFL's model franchise with six Super Bowl appearances and four championships since 2001, including last season's title.
Meanwhile, cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall (right toe) and Chris Culliver (left knee) have been out of the lineup for weeks. Culliver took part in individual drills and 1-on-1 work against the wide receivers at practice on Wednesday, a positive step forward for a player who last appeared in a game on Oct. 4.
"It'd be motivation if it came as a surprise," Washington left tackle Trent Williams said. "We expect people to make us the underdogs by a lot."
"In all these games, whether we're favored or the underdog,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, it's too close to call," Cousins said. "We know the job at hand. No matter who it is in the NFL, you're going to get a tough challenge, you need your best effort. When you factor in going on the road, it's tough to win."
That could mean exploitation all over the field for the Redskins, who have struggled to stop the run in recent weeks,China Jerseys Cheap, yet are also allowing big pass plays for touchdowns with a thin secondary.
"You watch one game where (Brady) comes out and throws the ball 20 times straight; watch another game where they run it 20 times straight," Hall said. "They do a great job of really homing in on what you have a problem with and they try to exploit that."
Cornerback Bashaud Breeland (hamstring) worked on a side field with trainers at practice Wednesday. He was injured late in an Oct. 25 win over Tampa Bay,Cheap NFL Football Jerseys, making a touchdown-saving tackle that helped Washington rally for the 31-30 victory. The Redskins haven't played since; they are coming off their bye.
ASHBURN,NFL Jerseys Cheap, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins understand why few outsiders believe they can compete with the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Hall did only the individual drills, so his status is more unclear. But even getting one of those players back would be a huge boost against a New England offense that beats opponents in multiple ways.
The Redskins,Cheap Stitched MLB Jerseys, 14-point underdogs, face multiple challenges this week. It remains unclear if they will have any of their top three cornerbacks against the NFL's second-best passing attack (329.3 passing yards per game).
It would take a monumental performance from quarterback Kirk Cousins and the offense to pull the upset. Still, Washington's players insist it's possible — even if few others do. |
