Even if they don't win the game, I think you will see them give the Pats the best game yet this year.

If this game were at FedEx, I might be inclined to agree. But the Skins have not proven to be an offensive juggernaut especially on the road.
The defense will have to play lights out for 4 solid quarters, and score on some defensive turnovers to have a chance.
We all know that most officials have a tendancy to get free with the little yellow flag where ST is concerned, be it deserved or not, referees so tend to pick on Taylor. Pats will not be scared to go his way because of this.
If any defense can hold the Pats under 30 it is the Skins. But this is an interconference matchup, and really does not bear huge consequence to New England. It is the Colts game, the following week that will have playoff implications even this early since they are both AFC teams.
Pats will try and put Washington away early and put Brady and company on the bench in the 4th quarter. Watch and see.
