Washington fell to 0–2 after they lost to Dallas 31–21 at FedEx Field in another disappointing outing for Greg Manusky’s defense, who couldn’t stop the tandem of Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott. After some thought, here are what I believe to be the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of the Redskins’ performance on Sunday.

The first week of September wasn’t particularly kind to the Nationals. That’s particularly inopportune for them, given that their seven games came against the rival Mets and Braves, both of whom they are competing with for playoff positioning.
The Nationals entered the week 77–58. They exit it 79–63. Here’s a look at how they got here. Continue reading “Washington Nationals Week in Review: Sept. 2–8”
