Big season losses loom for several NFL teams

The Associated Press notes the Cowboys Redskins Cardinals Bills Seahawks and Lions face dire starts with lopsided scoring margins. Washington has been pummeled 112-16 in three games while Dallas 82-45 and Seattle 71-26. New England shows life as a striker, but overall, front offices and cap trouble, aging rosters, and Holmgren's rebuild mark a tough path ahead for multiple franchises.
