Coming off a dominant win and a refreshing bye week, the Washington Football Team should be ready to go.

It’s been a roller coaster of a season so far for the Washington Football Team, but they’re currently mounting a crest, fresh off a 25-3 thrashing of their bitter rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Young players are stepping up, veterans in new roles are thriving, and the locker room is pulsing with excitement.

Ron Rivera made the controversial switch from Dwayne Haskins to Kyle Allen with winning in mind, and while he at first drew criticism for the move, his team’s win against Dallas was the first sign that they might be able to compete with better execution at the helm.

With that being said, if Washington is to compete in the NFC East race, they’ll have to beat the beatable opponents. That started with the Dallas game two weeks ago, and this week, they’ll have to continue against a scrappy Giants squad. Which five players will be most important in this event?
