Week 10 – Redskins at Lions

That’s right. Back-to-back.

This is one of those games that could go either way, and for a time, I had Detroit as the victor. I’m not a fan of the Lions’ coaching staff, but if Matthew Stafford is healthy, he’s one of the best, most underrated signal callers in the game of football, and he could make short work of the Redskins’ secondary.

All that being said, the Lions are a step behind the Redskins defensively, and that gap should allow Washington’s offense to establish a rhythm at Ford Field. It’ll be a back-and-forth offensive affair, but the Redskins keep rolling for another week. This is the first game Haskins will be able to hang his hat on, as one where he played a crucial part in a win that could’ve gone either way.

Prediction: WAS 34, DET 31

Record: 3-6
