Norman says Redskins better on road: Home fans 'just boo everything'

Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman ripped the team's home fans Sunday after picking up another win away from the apparently unfriendly confines of FedExField.

"I feel like we play better on the road, I'm not gonna lie," he told Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan. "It seems like our true fans, they're really with us on the road and we feed off of that. When we go into the home stands, it seems like an open bubble or something. Like the other team's turf or something. You hear more of them than you do us. Then, if something bad happens, they sulk. They sit back in their seat and they boo."

The Redskins improved to 3-1 on the road after knocking off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. They're 3-2 at home.

Norman, who recorded his second interception of the season Sunday, said the atmosphere in D.C. has deteriorated since he joined the club in 2016.

"It's kinda crazy because the first couple of years I've been here, you would see sellouts and all happy and excited and all for the Redskins, but now you go around, see the whole NFC East teams - the Philly's, the Giants, and even Dallas - they sold out," he added. "People in the seats, they're cheering for their team. Regardless good, bad, or indifferent, they still showing up each and every week going hard. Even the Giants, when they was 1-6, hell they had a sellout crowd."

The Redskins rank 28th in the NFL in attendance and are filling a league-low 74.6 percent of seats for home games, despite sitting atop the NFC East.

"They just don't really care," Norman said of the fans in Washington. "They just boo everything. They're not really behind us. We don't really feel that. I'm tired of it. I really am."
