Was doing a little recon on the Patriots (if you haven't taken advantage of the NFL Spy feature on the home page, you're missing out ;) ) and ran across this Series History against the Skins on their official site.

Some interesting tidbits in there ... like for one, that the Redskins are the team NE has played more in preseason than any other NFL team. Huh.

SERIES HISTORY

The New England Patriots and Washington Redskins will meet for the 20th time in the preseason, with New England holding an 12-7 advantage in the previous 19 contests. The Patriots have played Washington more times in the preseason than any other NFL team, with 19 previous preseason games between the clubs. The Patriots' 12 preseason victories over the Redskins are their highest total over any preseason opponent. The Patriots have won four straight preseason games against Washington and have won seven of the last nine preseason games in the series. The team's last faced off against each other in the preseason in 2006 with the Patriots taking a 41-0 victory in Washington's first-ever visit to Gillette Stadium. The two team's last played in the regular-season on October 28, 2007 with New England taking the contest, 52-7.

INFREQUENT FOES IN THE REGULAR SEASON

The Patriots and Redskins, despite frequent preseason matchups, have met just eight times in regular-season play. The Patriots' eight games against Washington are the second fewest against any team that entered the league prior to the most recent era of expansion, which began with the entry of the Jaguars and Panthers to the NFL in 1995.

PRESEASON HISTORY

The Patriots are 35-29 (.547) in the preseason since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994. New England has had a winning record in eight seasons since Kraft purchased the team.

BILL BELICHICK IN THE PRESEASON

How'd you like to be the guy/gal with the job of tracking down/typing up all those "connections" every week. The glamorous life of an NFL web guy, baby.
 
They forgot the most obvious connection.

Chris Cooley was in Ghosts Don't Exist with Ed Mantell who was in War of the Worlds with Bill Richards who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon, as well as Ed O'Keefe, who was in Stuck On You with Tom Brady.

Boo ya! :cool3:
 
It's odd how they mentioned Shawn Springs' time in Seattle with Jim Zorn but not the five years he played for the Redskins.
