The Washington Redskins have not been good in primetime games.
For Skins fans looking for optimism, there is this: The Redskins are due for a home win on a Monday night.
Why? Because their record in on Monday Night Football has been terrible in recent years: 2-15 since 2008.
And in recent years it has been especially bad in primetime games at FedEx Field: 3-8 since 2013.
Washington's last Monday night home win came in Week 13 of the 2012 season when rookie Robert Griffin III led the Skins to a 17-16 win over the New York Giants.
Monday, the Redskins will be looking to snap a drought of 2,485 days.
