NFL Week 13 | Saints 33, Redskins 30

Missed opportunities

Washington wastes huge chance at upset

The Redskins lead for much of the day against the undefeated Saints, only to miss a 23-yard field goal late in regulation and then fumble away the game in overtime.

Outrageous misfortune

THOMAS BOSWELL | The Redskins' self-inflicted curse is in full and spectacular force, continually producing breathtaking blunders.

Redeemable parts within

MIKE WISE | As deflating as the loss to the Saints was, it's no longer a no-brainer for the Redskins to merely ship names and contracts out of town and start over.
