The Washington Redskins are getting ready to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Here’s the keys to victory for the contest.

The Redskins are going to engage in a crucial battle with the Cowboys this afternoon in what could be one of the most important games of the season. With both teams entering the contest at 3-3 and the Philadelphia Eagles well ahead of them in the division, this could be a make or break game for both teams as they look to stay alive in the Wild Card race.

The Redskins are entering this game with a great deal of injuries. They are going to be missing a number of starters on both sides of the ball, so Jay Gruden and company are going to have to create a gameplan that allows the team to stay competitive.

Meanwhile, Jason Garrett and the Cowboys are going to look to take on the Redskins defense and expose their weaknesses. With two key members of the front seven now on the IR, the Cowboys are going to have a chance to utilize their running game to wear out the unit. The Cowboys definitely have an advantage due to these issues, but the Redskins can still win.

With that said, here’s a look at the three keys to victory for the Redskins as they look to improve to 4-3.
