The New England Patriots last Sunday remained one of the National Football League’s two undefeated, 4-0 teams by hanging on to defeat the Buffalo Bills 16-10, in spite of future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady posting a 45.9 quarterback rating, his worst single game in 13 years, according to Pro Football Reference stats. But Brady will get a golden opportunity to get back on track when the Patriots take on one of two NFL teams that currently languish at 0-4. That would be the Washington Redskins, who did not even know who their starting quarterback would be until Friday.
Embattled Washington Head Coach Jay Gruden announced that he picked veteran Colt McCoy — who is coming off a broken leg suffered last season — to face the Patriots over rookie Dwayne Haskins or 31-year-old journeyman Case Keenum for the game that will stream live from the nation’s capital.
