The Washington Redskins are about to face perhaps the best quarterback they'll encounter this season. And, maybe the most underrated.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford lacks the respect afforded many top NFL passers because of an 0-2 postseason record. If the Redskins were miffed this week by national media downplaying their four-game winning streak, well, welcome to the Lions' life.
Detroit (3-3) is once again buried in the NFC North behind Minnesota (5-0) and Green Bay (3-2), both of which Washington (4-2) plays next month. Minnesota has quarterback Sam Bradford vying for NFL Comeback Player of the Year, while Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a probable first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer one day.
