3 key matchups for Washington vs. Broncos in Week 8

Here are three key matchups that need to go in Washington’s favor to pick up a road win against the Broncos on Sunday.

The Washington Football Team desperately needs a victory on Sunday to avoid falling to 2-6 before the bye week. After a week off, Washington hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10.

So, how does Washington go on the road and defeat the Denver Broncos this week?

Denver pass-rusher Von Miller is questionable for Sunday and is considered “50-50” for the game. If Miller can’t go, that’s a positive for Washington, which struggled to protect quarterback Taylor Heinicke. Denver did receive some good injury news this week with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy’s return.

For Washington to win, it will need to win a series of matchups. Here are three matchups to watch in Washington’s Week 8 game against the Broncos.
