The Washington Football Team fell to the Giants for a second time on the season, moving to 2-6 on the year.

Before the 2020 campaign, record projections made clear that if the Washington Football Team was going to compete, they’d have to win the winnable games. Both Giants games appeared easily winnable on paper, and in action, they were as well.

But Washington instead beat themselves in both contests against the New York Giants, and consequently, they’re one failed two-point conversion and one less turnover from having an NFC East sweep, and a 4-4 record.

With that being said, it’s too late for revisionist history. Washington is 2-6 and in danger of going down by two and a half games in the division. Where does Ron Rivera’s squad go from here, and what changes after this crucial loss? Here are three takeaways.
