The Washington Redskins are looking to notch their fifth victory in Week 10 vs. the Minnesota Vikings. If they want to do that, they will have to accomplish the following things.

Game day is officially here for the Washington Redskins. With a record of 4-4, they are in the thick of the playoff race. The team is coming off an impressive win over the Seattle Seahawks in a game that very few expected them to have a chance in. That win was huge for them, and it essentially kept their season alive for another week.

In Week 10, they are going to have to take on another tough opponent in the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are one of the better teams in the NFC. Armed with a strong defense and a functional offensive unit, the Vikings are a similar team to the Redskins. They have a 6-2 record and appear to be in the drivers seat for the NFC North title.

On Sunday, the Redskins really need a win. They have a better chance to catch the Dallas Cowboys for second in the division with Ezekiel Elliott out at least the next four games. That said, they need to start this stretch off on the right foot. Getting a win over the Vikings would do that.

Here’s a look at the keys to victory for the Redskins. If they achieve these three things, they will have a chance to knock off the Vikings.
