Washington Football Team: Five players to watch vs. Bengals
By Ian Cummings
Can the 2-7 Washington Football Team right the ship against the 2-6-1 Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11? That’s up to the players to decide.
The Washington Football Team has had its moments in 2020, but those moments have numbered few, mixed in-between longer bouts of poor execution, inconsistency, and an inability to capitalize. Seven losses is never a good figure to have after nine games, but that’s where Washington is.
The losses have somewhat improved in quality; at the beginning of the year, Washington was being handled easily by teams such as the Cardinals, Ravens, and Rams. Now, in their last three defeats, they’ve lost by a combined seven points.
In alternate universe not so different from this one, the Washington Football Team might be 5-4, and comfortably in the lead in the NFC East. But losses are losses for a reason. The Washington Football Team played a hand in those results, and Week 11, they’ll be tasked with undoing it, to the best of their ability. Here are the players they’ll need to make it happen.
