The Washington Football Team is back on the road Sunday for another NFC East battle with the Dallas Cowboys. To say it’s been a strange December for Washington would be an understatement.
Sunday’s game in Dallas will be Washington’s second vs. Cowboys in 14 days — five days after playing a road game in Philadelphia on a Tuesday night. Washington’s roster has been ravaged with injuries and COVID-19 since just before its last meeting with Dallas on Dec. 12.
Washington enters Week 16 with more bad news on the injury front, as cornerback William Jackson III and safety Landon Collins are out. Facing the Cowboys wide receivers without your top corner spells trouble. Then, you have Collins, arguably Washington’s second-best defender the last 10 weeks.
Here are three critical matchups that will determine the outcome of this NFC East rematch.
