5. The Reality Is, Washington has to dig deep and out-hit Dallas on Sunday.

Even in the process of losing to Dallas two weeks ago, it was clear that Washington missed opportunities to bully Dallas. Dallas is a finesse team at this point in their evolution. Washington didn’t take their speed and their quickness away from them by simply hitting them in the mouth. If Washington is going to win on Sunday night, they are going to have to out-physical the Cowboys on both sides of the ball.
