Two more days. Then it’s the Washington Football Team playing in primetime once again.

This time, however, they won’t be joined by 31 other teams. This time, the field is down to 14. And the Washington Football Team, ranked as the NFC’s four-seed after beating the Eagles and claiming the NFC East, has an impending battle with the five-seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Can Washington win in this David vs. Goliath showdown? Perhaps. But it won’t be easy. If the Washington Football Team wants to remain competitive, let alone win, they’ll need standout performances from these five players.
