Crowd Just Before Kickoff at Redskins-Giants is Basically Empty and All New York Fans
By Michael Luciano
According to Bruce Allen, the Washington Redskins' culture is "damn good." The attendance for their home game against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants seems to go against that notion.
FedEx Field was half empty just prior to this game, as the Giants seemed to have a bigger presence at this one than the hometown Redskins.
Apparently the quest for Chase Young isn't an attractive enough draw for the Redskins faithful.
Interim head coach Bill Callahan has managed just three wins after they fired Jay Gruden, and Washington has had to put up with a stagnant offense that ranks near the bottom of the league in many major offensive categories.
While they did lose to the Philadelphia Eagles last week, rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins played the best game of his career, throwing two touchdowns and narrowly missing another Washington win. Even with that progress, FedEx is nearly empty.
Haskins had better develop into an elite quarterback in short order. If he doesn't, the tough times and low attendance in Washington could continue to get even worse.
