The Washington Football Team will take the field against the Los Angeles Chargers at 1 p.m. this Sunday. One of the biggest staples of football is the huddle.…
The 2021 Washington Football Team Season Is Whatever You Want It to Be, Honestly
During the Great Kirk Cousins Wars of 2016 and 2017, the factions on both sides developed some shared conventional wisdom about the quarterback: namely, whatever you wanted his statistics and actions to prove, they could prove. Cousins routinely racked up counting stats (good quarterback!), but frequently failed to deliver in crucial games (bad leader!). He…
Dan Snyder Escaped Accountability for the Washington Football Team’s Toxic Culture
Following attorney Beth Wilkinson’s review of the Washington Football Team’s workplace, the NFL determined the organization’s culture was so toxic it warranted the biggest fine in league history.

Vince Promuto, a Washington Football Team Great, Competed With True Grit

At Least the Washington Football Team Won’t Be Boring With Ryan Fitzpatrick
There’s a complaint I find myself raising about all the D.C.-area sports teams: They are boring. I have a tendency to level this complaint whether it is accurate—hello, Maryland men’s basketball—or not—hi there, Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook scoring a billion points while leading the Wizards to another mediocre season! The Washington Football Team is coming…

When Taylor Heinicke joined the New England Patriots’ practice squad for part of the 2017 season, he wanted to make a strong impression on his first day. The quarterback pulled up to the team’s facility before 5:30 a.m., vowing to be the first one at work. He wasn’t. Heinicke soon realized he’d been beaten there…

The Washington Football Team’s Wild and Unpredictable Journey to the Playoffs
Summarizing the Washington Football Team’s year, one packed with countless headlines and drama, is nearly impossible. But let’s try, anyway.
