The Washington Redskins are looking a bit better now since starting off 0-3 and the Denver Broncos are entering a game for the first time this season coming off of a loss and the two teams will face off on Sunday in Week 8 after the Skins beat the Chicago Bears and the game will be at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and will air on television on FOX at 4:25 pm and will be streaming online.
The game puts two of the hottest quarterbacks against each other in Peyton Manning and Robert Griffin and the Washington offense has looked much better than at the beginning of the season and right now they are one of the only teams ranked in the top 10 with a top five rushing offense and a seventh ranked passing offense by yards per game and while the defense has been bad at giving up too many yards, they have been better over the past two weeks in the loss against the Dallas and the win over the Chicago Bears, which was a crazy shootout and one of the best games of the season last week and saw the Skins go over 40 points for the first time this season and the game on Sunday against the Broncos could be another one of those types of games.
Manning has been playing some of the best football of his career despite his old age and it has been pretty amazing for the team to watch, as he has been nearly perfect with just a couple picks and he comes in after losing to his old team in Indy, but six straight wins came before that and they scored over 50 points in back to back games at one point and they have the best passing offense and the best rushing defense ranked by yards per game this season and they will play a tough stretch in the second half, including two against the Kansas City Chiefs and that is big trouble for the division, as the Chiefs could drop both of those games and that likely will help shake out the AFC West and could be crucial come home field for playoff time.
The Redskins have been playing better of late and they had a shootout last week with the Bears like the Broncos did a couple weeks ago against the Cowboys and this could be a game something like that again with defenses allowing plenty of yards and also with both quarterbacks playing very well and the team has multiple division games coming up. Denver comes into the back stretch with the Chargers in the first of three games on the road in four weeks and they have a home and away game against the Chiefs with a matchup on the road against Tom Brady and the Patriots and that will be a tough game and the Titans will be on the schedule after those games. The Titans will come before the Chargers and then the team plays against the Houston Texans on the road and the Oakland Raiders to end the season.
The Redskins already had their bye week and they will go up against the Chargers and then against the Vikings and Eagles on the road before a huge Monday night game against the Niners and then they have more tough games against the Giants and also against the Chiefs. The team ends the season on the road against the Giants and they will be at home against Dallas and on the road against the Falcons before that. The Redskins have a very good offense and are ranked in the top 10 in passing and rushing and a ton of that obviously has to do with Robert Griffin. The Broncos and Redskins will be playing at 4:25 pm in a game that will be broadcast on Fox and that will be one of the top games on the schedule.
