The Washington Redskins travel to MetLife Stadium to play their first must-win game of the season. Like the Giants, the Redskins will play three road games in October, including a trip to London, but not before they host the winless Browns in Week 4.

NY is also the top in its cluster at the moment so the Redskins getting a win this weekend will definitely close the gap. He also dropped a sure TD pass early in the game. He believes Washington will capitalize on Norman’s feud with him in order to try to get under his skin and throw off his game.
