ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins don’t want to hear the question. They just want to win a game this weekend. And that’s a good mindset: The Redskins are only 4-2 and there are 10 games remaining.
But the question can be asked: Could Washington stay atop the NFC East for the rest of the season? With the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles struggling, there’s no reason to think the Redskins can’t at least contend for the division title.
They have a formula that’s working for them, and -- provided they stay relatively healthy – could keep them around for a while.
