The Washington Redskins are heading to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Can they extend their winning streak to two games?

The Washington Redskins are in some unfamiliar territory this week. That’s right. They’re coming off a win. And not just any win. It was their first home win since Week 7 of the 2018 season.

The Redskins have largely struggled since Alex Smith went down with a brutal leg injury against the Houston Texans, and wins have been few and far between. But on Sunday, the team will get a chance to piece together a two-game win streak. However, it won’t be easy.

In Week 13, the Redskins are taking on the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte. They’ll be playing in front of a hostile crowd that loves their Panthers and will be playing a team that’s hungry for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The battle won’t be an easy one for the ‘Skins, but there are some matchups they may be able to exploit. We’ll take a look at some of them in this full preview, starting with the Redskins offense against the Panthers defense.
