The Washington Football Team has faced their share of injuries and COVID-related absences this season. Washington looks to finish its season on a strong note Sunday when it travels to the Meadowlands to face the New York Giants.
Giants coach Joe Judge fired some early shots at Washington after Sunday’s loss to the Bears. Washington coach Ron Rivera was not amused. Judge later backpedaled and said his comments were not about Washington.
So, you’d think there would be a lot of animosity and emotion from both sides heading into the regular-season finale. Washington is fired up, but it looks like the Giants would rather opt out of Week 18.
