This is a winnable game for the Bengals, but guess what... the Washington Football Team is thinking the exact same thing.
To win this game and get the first road win of the Zac Taylor era, the Bengals need to execute at a high level. Here are some specific areas they should focus on.

Washington has an excellent group of pass rushers, but although guys like Da’Ron Payne are very good against the run, their defense isn’t great in that area overall.
If they can run the ball effectively, it will help keep them out of long third down situations, which will make the pass rush more manageable.
