The Washington Football Team is coming off a disappointing loss to Cleveland last week.

The starting quarterback for the Washington Football Team is coming off his worst start as a pro. Their defense is anticipating playing without their star rookie. Their opponent is among the top 3-5 teams in the league, with the reigning NFL MVP, coming off an extremely poor performance, likely very motivated to get back on track.

This is a good week to remember what reasonable expectations were for this team. There are plenty of positives to anticipate in this game. There are plenty of opportunities for growth. But the Reality Is, this is not a game where the scoreboard should be considered the measuring stick for this team. So, let’s dig into some Reality Checks for Washington vs. Baltimore.
