Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody has a plan…until they get hit.”
I thought of that today watching the Washington Commanders no doubt come into the game with offensive and defensive schemes/plans, only to get hit early and simply never respond in the first half. Consequently, they were down 22-0 at the half in what had to be one of the ugliest halves in recent Washington football history. They were the boxer who can’t get out of the corner, off the ropes, can’t hurt their opponent. They simply took a beating in that first half.
