The Redskins just played quite possibly the worst half of football in recent memory

It’s quite possible that the Washington Redskins just played one of the worst halves in the history of NFL football.

After two nationally-televised quarters, the Redskins defense allowed the Chicago Bears to score more points than they did in the first two games combined. Going into the break with a 28-3 deficit, let’s look back at some of the things that went wrong for the Redskins.

• Case Keenum threw a pick-six on the first drive, which Haha Clinton-Dix, a former Redskin, returned for a touchdown.
• Dustin Hopkins missed a 43-yard field goal.
• Case Keenum fumbled three times.
• Case Keenum threw a second interception.
• The Redskins defense gave up three touchdowns to the same player, Taylor Gabriel.
• Washington allowed Keenum to get sacked three times while being hit four times.
• There were 14 total penalties.

That not bad enough? The Redskins are at the point now where they would likely pull Keenum in order to get rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins into the game, but they can’t in good faith do that, for their prized possession would likely be knocked to the dirt multiple times by Khalil Mack and the Bears defense.

While Redskins fans grumble in discontent, calls for Jay Gruden, Greg Manusky, Bruce Allen or anyone else’s head has gotten louder. If you thought that Washington couldn’t play much worse than they did in the first thirty minutes, just sit back and wait; there are still two more quarters of football left to be played.
