Redskins Game Thread: NFL Week 13 vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Washington Redskins are looking for a win in Week 13 to keep them alive in the playoff race. Discuss all the action here on our game thread.
Today is the final day of November, and it will be the most important day of the year for the Redskins. They are currently sitting at 5-6 and they are on the outside looking in for the playoff race. They essentially need to win all of their final five games to be in competition for the No. 6 seed in the postseason race. There are a lot of teams may end up with a 10-6 record to end the season, and the Seahawks, Rams, and Panthers are just a few of the names in the running.
The Redskins will need to do a lot to get to that point, but it remains a possibility. They need to start off on the right foot by going on the road to Dallas and notching a victory. The Cowboys are reeling right now, and the Skins should definitely have a chance to beat them.
The Cowboys are going to be without Ezekiel Elliott in this game, and three of their top offensive linemen are dealing with some forms of injury. Included among them is right tackle La’el Collins, who may end up sitting out this contest. If he does, Byron Bell will come into the lineup and Ryan Kerrigan should benefit from that.
Jay Gruden is going to have to have his squad motivated in this game. Their postseason lives depend on this game, and there are also a lot of players who are looking to solidify their future with the Redskins. One of those guys is Kirk Cousins, as he looks to get a long term deal next offseason. This is a big moment for him to step up and help lead the team to victory.
