Week 15 – Redskins vs. Seahawks

Games against the Seahawks are always interesting, as offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer loves to keep games unnecessarily close, even with his most outmatched opponents.

The Redskins do have some favorably intriguing points in this pregame comparison; their defensive line should be able to generate pressure against a continually underwhelming Seahawks’ line, and if they can stop the run, they can throw Seattle off a bit.

That said, Russell Wilson makes a habit out of single-handedly winning games in Seattle, and even if the Redskins make a dent early on, stopping Wilson is a tougher task to accomplish. The revenge tour failed last week against Trent Williams, and with Quinton Dunbar on the other sideline in this one, the Redskins will again come up empty-handed.

Prediction: WAS 17, SEA 23

Record: 4-10
