 Here we are at week 12, a game which was likely circled on everyone's calendar at the beginning of the season. Round whatever of Manning/Brady. Now it's here and things are much changed.

Unfortunately, there was a flag on the play giving the Redskins a new set of downs right on the doorstep. Two plays later, they were in for the score.
