Redskins are best defense the Patriots have faced this season

ASHBURN, Va. -- Joe Gibbs acts as if he's scared silly. He's said his Washington Redskins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=was) will "probably be the biggest underdog in the history of sports" Sunday against the New England Patriots. He said he'd rather play against teams "who are not very good."

Informed that the Patriots (7-0) haven't beaten the Redskins (4-2) in 35 years, and that Washington is the only team New England quarterback Tom Brady (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=5228) has never defeated, Gibbs replied: "How much money are you going to put on that?"

But what about the coach who runs the defense? How does Gregg Williams view the game against Brady and the great juggernaut?
Proving once again that he is cut from a different cloth than his boss, Williams called it "fun" to play the Patriots.

"No matter what your personnel was, no matter what their personnel was, you were going to have to earn every inch," said Williams, who faced New England regularly during three years as the head coach in Buffalo. "Those games are fun to be in."

Thank you, Captain Obvious. We didn't know this. :D

I am leaning more towards the idea that Gibbs isnt playing into the blow out psyche like you think..... hes saying exactly what he always says
