Carolina Panthers @ Washington Redskins Live Thread & Game Information

With their NFC East Rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, battling for the division, the Redskins will try to get one step closer to the playoffs against the fallen Carolina Panthers. If Washington wins, the Lions’ playoff chances drop from 75 percent to 70 percent.

First Quarter: Redskins 3, Panthers 10 The Panthers were able to quickly march down the field for almost 60 yards on their opening drive, but the Redskins clamped down deep in their own territory to prevent a potential touchdown.

The Redskins (7-5-1) are right in the thick of the wild card race and entered this week as the first team out. How effective will they be if they do suit up?

Newton was limited in practice during the week as he nurses a shoulder injury. Johnson’s streak of 13 games in a row with 100 or more scrimmage yards is tied for the third-longest streak at any point in a single season in National Football League history.

“I might have to call him up and see if he can get me one, for old time’s sake”. He cleared the concussion protocol this week but was listed as questionable for Monday’s game. They are, however, coming off a home field win over the AFC West San Diego Chargers. In both Newton’s and Kuechly’s cases, you have to wonder if it’s worth it to put the two faces of the franchise at risk while basically playing for pride. Of course, it may be a little late in the season for you to sign up. In the end, though, Carolina’s secondary has too many holes to keep up with Washington’s dynamic aerial attack. When Cousins looks to stretch the field wide out DeSean Jackson is his man. D-Jax has 22 career touchdowns of 60-plus yards, which is the second most in National Football League history. Quarterback Kirk Cousins only needs 122 yards to break the team single-season record for passing yards.

Kerrigan is one of the top pass-rushing linebackers in the game and he is showing that off this season with his 11 sacks in 13 games.

Coming into the season, not many would have had us heading into the final games of the regular season with Washington the most likely side to make the post-season from this match-up. Although it seemed Reed would be out for the game, he returned and wound up scoring two touchdowns as the Redskins came up just short by a score of 31-26. Early on the game has gone in Carolina’s favor, and Jonathan Stewart has made some great runs.
