Dissecting Most Crucial Matchups in Washington’s Week 9 Contest with Minnesota

October 28, 2014   ·   Matthew Brown   ·   Jump to comments

The Washington Redskins hadn't won two consecutive games since 2012 when they went on a seven-game winning streak to win their division and make the playoffs. Fresh off victories over the Tennessee Titans and the Dallas Cowboys, the Redskins will look to extend their streak to three games.
Standing in their way are the Minnesota Vikings, who sport a similar 3-5 record following a victory of their own.
Two teams that have done more losing than winning over the last year prepare for a head-to-head matchup that will move one closer to .500 and the other closer to a top-10 draft pick next year.
Minnesota is a franchise in a rebuilding phase, while Washington is in more of a retooling phase. Either way, matchups will be key in this contest, and whoever wins the battles will likely win the game.
