Week 13 – Redskins at Steelers

As much as the Redskins would like to get right back to winning after suffering a setback against the Cowboys, they’ll have a tough time picking up where they left off. The Steelers present an immense challenge for Washington, one that they might not be prepared for, even after their midseason growth.

Offensively, the Steelers aren’t as imposing as they’ve been in the past. I have questions about Ben Roethlisberger’s continued viability as a starting quarterback. But that ultimately won’t be the biggest storyline in this one. Instead, a vaunted Steelers defense led by T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Devin Bush will make life hard for Haskins, giving the Redskins’ their least inspiring offensive outing of the season.

Prediction: WAS 13, PIT 23

Record: 4-8
