The Washington Redskins have a chance to get over .500 once again this week. To reach that mark, they will have to beat the Minnesota Vikings.

Last week, the Redskins pulled off one of the most impressive wins of their season. After putting pressure on Russell Wilson and the Seahawks all day, Kirk Cousins was able to lead a game winning drive to earn the team a critical road win. At the time, they improved to 4-4 and stayed alive in the postseason race.

While the Redskins are highly unlikely to catch the division leading the Eagles, they are just a game back of the Cowboys. And the Cowboys were just dealt a blow as Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension was reinstated and he is set to miss at least the next four games. So, the Redskins will have a chance to catch their rival with one of their best players out. But to do so, they’ll have to beat the Vikings first.

The Vikings are among the NFC’s best teams. Sporting a terrific defense and a strong offensive line, the team is leading the NFC North and will look to stay atop the division. They are a similarly built team to the Redskins, so this week’s contest could be an intriguing one.

With all that said, here’s a look at the best matchups to watch in the Week 10 battle between the Redskins and the Vikings.
