The free-falling Dallas Cowboys have one more chance to save their season when they host NFC East-rival the Washington Redskins to kickoff Week 13 of the NFL schedule on Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys had a three-game winning streak that included a 33-19 win at Washington, but lost star running back Ezekiel Elliott to a six-game suspension, and the offense has not been the same since. For the first time in franchise history, Dallas has scored less than 10 points in three consecutive games (all losses), and are now two games out of the playoffs with just five to go, making this a must-win game. You can also say it’s a must-win for Washington as well, who have dropped two of their last three to fall to 5-6. They were scorched by the Vikings and Saints in back-to-back losses before bouncing back with a lackluster win over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving night. Kirk Cousins (NFL second-best 3,038 yards), who tossed a pair of touchdown passes against the Giants, has thrown for 625 passing yards, six TDs and no interceptions in his last two meetings against the Cowboys.
The Redskins will hope to get back star left tackle Trent Williams (knee) on Thursday after he participated in practice, but the same can’t be said for Jordan Reed. The All-Pro tight end has missed each of the last four games with a hamstring injury and also missed Week 3 with a shoulder injury. Rookie running back Samaje Perine has 217 rushing yards in his last two games, and a season-best 130 scrimmage yards (100 rushing, 30 receiving) last week in place of the injured Chris Thompson (IR – leg). The defense is ranked 25th in points allowed (25.1) after allowing 72 points combined in the losses to the Vikings and Saints. Washington will be at the L.A. Chargers next week, a team that beat Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas passing game has also been hurt with the threat of Elliott removed from the offense. Prescott has thrown five interceptions over the last two games to exceed his total of four during his rookie season in 2016. Wide receiver Dez Bryant has also struggled without Elliott, failing to crack 40 yards receiving in two of the last three games. Alfred Morris is averaging almost five yards a carry in the last three games, but has compiled just 180 yards in that stretch with Dallas having to resort to the passing game more. The defense is 22nd overall (348.3) and 24th in points allowed (24.5).
This Dallas team is a mess right now and can’t seem to compete with anyone. The Redskins aren’t much better, but Cousins has been pretty good and should be able to carry his team to a nice road victory.
