The Washington Redskins are looking for a bounce-back win after a disappointing loss to the Falcons. Their Week 10 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is winnable, but it won’t be easy.

It’s safe to say that last week was a major step back for the Redskins. In a highly anticipated matchup with the Falcons, many were hoping that the team would show they were ready for the limelight. After all, they were on a three-game winning streak and had a chance to gain even more ground in the NFC East with the Eagles on bye.

Instead, the team disappointed en route to a 38-14 loss. The defense looked out of sorts and the offensive line suffered numerous injuries and lost both starting guards for the season as a result. That’s a huge loss for the squad and could be a factor down the road.

Heading into Week 10, the Redskins will have to win if they want to keep pacing the NFC East. The Eagles and Cowboys are meeting in a critical Sunday-night matchup, but the ‘Skins will have a chance to render the results of that relatively moot (at least for the moment) if they can knock off the Buccaneers.

The Bucs started the season off with a surprising win over the Saints, but since that time they have been in turmoil. They lack a strong defense and Dirk Koetter’s offense is too prone to turnovers and lacks a running game. So, needless to say, Washington should have a chance to win here.

With all that said, here’s a look at the top matchups to watch and a score prediction for Redskins vs. Buccaneers.
