Can the Washington Football Team win consecutive games for the first time this season in Week 5?

The New Orleans Saints come to FedEx Field on Sunday in a matchup of 2-2 teams. And, according to Tipico Sportsbook, the Saints will head east as early 2.5-point favorites.

Washington is coming off another come-from-behind win after it defeated the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

The Saints enter Sunday’s game coming off a disappointing overtime loss to the New York Giants. Saints quarterback Jameis Winston has been more efficient than ever this season. Winston has completed 64% of his passes for 613 yards with eight touchdowns and just two interceptions.

This game should come down to which quarterback takes better care of the football.
