A game between a 1-7 New York Giants and the 2-5 Washington Football Team has playoff implications.

Yes, you read that right. No typo. A game between two teams with a combined record of 3-12 has playoff implications. In fact, a Washington Football Team win puts them just a half a game out of first place in the NFC East. That would make it a two-team race between the Eagles and the Washington Football Team in the NFC East.

Even better, it would put the Washington Football Team on a two-game win streak! Sunday’s game is massive for the Washington Football Team. A win keeps them right in the thick of things, creating meaningful games in the future. A trend that would be great for the young Washington Football Team

A loss makes the hopes of a playoff birth tepid. It will almost certainly put the Washington Football Team back in contention for a top-five pick.

To keep its playoff hopes alive, Washington has to beat the Giants. Here are the three keys to doing just that.
