No. It's pointed out in an article because it's an anomaly. Divisional games at the end of the season are indeed the norm, but it's rarely been more than 2 consecutive to close the season. Washington not only has 5 straight but plays Dallas and Philly 4 straight weeks in alternating fashion. I have NEVER seen that happen where you have a home-and-home 3-game stretch within another home-and-home 3-game stretch, period, let alone it being against division opponents. Washington has reason to complain if they care.
I like the few division games to close a season, but never the home-and-home for divisional opponents because teams are different throughout the season. A divisional opponent can catch a team at a weak point in the season and get 2 games on them quick versus catching them at 2 different points in the season. I think it's more competitive that way. That's just me though.
