The Redskins have an opportunity to end their losing streak this week, against an actively tanking Miami Dolphins squad.

This battle has already been dubbed “The Tank Bowl” by many national media outlets, due to the incompetence displayed by both teams in the lead-up to the affair. There’s one crucial difference between the two, however: The Dolphins are trying to lose. The Washington Redskins aren’t.

It’s worth discussing whether winning is even worth anything at this point for Washington, but against the Dolphins, their top priority will be to end their current skid, get back on the right track, and start the era after Jay Gruden on a high note.

With that purpose in mind, there are other secondary goals that deserve attention. Here are five goals for the Washington Redskins in their first week without Jay Gruden, against a suitably beatable opponent.
