Dud No. 4 – My bold predictions

Remind me to never do bold predictions again. I not only went zero for five, but may have somehow played a hand in manifesting the Washington Football Team’s struggles into the universe with one massive jinx.

Prediction No. 1 – Washington wears white-on-white (Didn’t happen, but they might as well have, for terms of surrender).

Prediction No. 2 – Kendall Fuller gets an interception in his first game back (Didn’t happen).

Prediction No. 3 – Logan Thomas gets career-high receiving yards (Didn’t happen, and he was targeted on two of Haskins’ interceptions).

Prediction No. 4 – Chase Young outshines Myles Garrett (Young left with a groin injury in the first half. Garrett had two sacks and a forced fumble).

Prediction No. 5 – Dwayne Haskins breaks the 300-yard mark (Threw three interceptions instead).

Jacob and I have been trading off the bold predictions pieces for a while, but I’ve never gotten it this bad. I think I might just retire from the column, but if I somehow get it again, look out, because I’m literally only predicting bad things. Haskins throws five interceptions, Young plays at inside linebacker, et cetera.

Next. Three takeaways from Washington's Week 3 loss to Cleveland. dark

You can thank me afterward when Haskins goes for five touchdowns and 400 yards, in the first game of his underdog MVP ascension.
