For the first time all season, the Washington Football Team will be playing in a primetime game. That’s not a complaint, but simply a fact. With a young team coached by a new staff without many expectations, Washington was not deserving of primetime attention when the NFL was making the schedule this offseason, but now that their Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys is looming, we can finally get excited that the sporting world at large will be watching our squad on arguably the most-watched NFL day of the season.
Let’s just hope they don’t lay an egg.
The last time these two teams met, the Cowboys were in the midst of a quarterback change, and Washington made them pay for it, blowing Dallas out of the water with a 25-3 victory that saw Andy Dalton sidelined with a concussion, and little else working for “America’s Team.” Man, wouldn’t it be nice to do that again on a national stage like Thanksgiving afternoon?
It’s possible, but things will look quite a bit different this time around. Here are some of our biggest predictions for Thursday’s game.
