The Washington Commanders [5-5] face the Houston Texans [1-7-1] Sunday in a Week 11 clash that has suddenly become the most important game on Washington’s schedule.
Oddsmakers believe the Commanders should win this game. Washington is the better team. But, as the Commanders proved to the world in Week 10, anything can happen in the NFL. Houston is a competitive team and has won the past three meetings against Washington.
Past Washington teams would have a letdown in this situation. Have the Commanders turned a corner? Sunday will tell everyone a lot about this team. If Washington heads to Houston on a short week and takes care of business, fans can start to believe.
If the Commanders lose, well, they will be back in the same position they’ve been in over the past month, and everyone will say, “that’s the same old Washington.”
We name five Texans to watch in this week’s game against the Commanders.
