Having failed to end their road losing streak the previous week, the Washington Redskins return home with a mandate to win in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
As it stands, Washington trails the NFC-East leading New York Giants by two games in the win column. Losers in 11 of their last 12 road games, the Skins can ill afford to let a home contest slip away against a sub-.500 opponent.
Washington prevailed the last time it was under such circumstances in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
