This is perhaps the game that follows one of the saddest days thoughout Washington's franchise history, the unfortunate loss of free safety #21 SeanTaylor. In rememberance of his passing, all NFL games from this Thursday to this Sunday will feature the number 21 on each of the player's helmets. TheRedskins, in addition, will wear a patch with the #21 on their jerseys that has yet to be determined to be worn only for this playweek or for the rest of theseason.I will personally be attending this game, which is expected to have a great emotional impact upon the audience throughout the whole stadium. I will takepictures of the memorial '21' painted on the grass and any other memorial set up in Sean Taylor's memory to share with you all.
Discuss.
