To keep winning, the Redskins have to follow their keys.

Coming off a hard-fought road win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Washington Redskins return to FedExField to play host to the AFC South leading Houston Texans.

The Texans will be rested coming in off a bye week and are a team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. After a slow start to the season, they have won six straight and are starting to click on all cylinders as a team. The Redskins must be ready for another tough game.

Currently, the Redskins sit at 6-3 with a two-game lead over their division rivals. Even with all the injuries this team has sustained this year, especially along the offensive line, they have repeatedly found a way to win.

This game is an excellent opportunity against a quality team in the AFC, and one that could be a Super Bowl sleeper. If the Redskins want to improve to 7-3 and move one step closer to winning the NFC East, here are five keys to victory on Sunday.
