Washington Football Team: Five players to watch vs. Steelers

Five Washington Football Teamers to watch vs. Steelers.

The Washington Football Team is battling for an NFC East title. Yes, they’re 4-7, but they’re in a first-place tie with the New York Giants this year.

Regardless of whether or not you think Washington should be fighting for a playoff spot or a higher draft pick, most will agree that the team getting a chance to play some meaningful December football is a good thing. Of course, that also means that each game will be more important than the next, and their first contest of the month will be a difficult one.

Washington is taking on the 11-0 Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday afternoon. The Steelers have an excellent defense and a solid offense that balances moving the chains with some explosive plays and a stellar receiving corps. The veteran squad will be a tough test for the young Washington team, so this game will be intriguing, nonetheless.

If Washington wants a chance to beat the Steelers, they’re going to have to win in a few key areas. That means these five players will need to be watched closely, as their performances will have a big impact on whether or not the team is able to emerge from this matchup with a victory (or at least keep it close).
