The (3-12) Washington Redskins head to AT&T Stadium to face-off against their NFC East foe, the Dallas Cowboys (7-8). Washington is last in the divisional standings, while Dallas now sits in second after a loss to Philadelphia last weekend. In order to get back into first place and make the playoffs, the Cowboys must beat the Redskins and hope for an Eagles loss against the Giants.

Washington has lost three in a row due in large part to a struggling offense that ranks near the bottom in points scored, total yards and passing yards. Dwayne Haskins was the starter in a 41-35 overtime loss last weekend to the Giants and completed 12 of 15 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns. He left with an ankle injury and has been ruled out against the Cowboys. That means Case Keenum, who threw for 158 yards and one touchdown, will be his replacement. Adrian Peterson led the team in rushing with a minuscule 36 yards. Defensively, the Redskins gave up 550 yards to the Giants and will face a much more talented Dallas team this weekend.
There is trouble in Dallas. The Cowboys had high hopes at the beginning of the season, but have lost four of their last five games. In a defacto NFC East title game last weekend in Philadelphia, they failed to put the ball in the end zone. That is not welcome news for a team that is near the top in total offense. Dak Prescott threw for 265 yards, while Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper had less than 50 yards of offense in the game. If Dallas is unable to get the job done on Sunday, head coach Jason Garrett’s job could be on the line.
