If the Redskins want to win the NFC East, they’re going to need to do something they haven’t all season: put a win streak together.

In other words, alternating wins and losses has had no dire punishment just yet.
But with three games left in the season -- and two divisional opponents waiting for them on the road -- that will inevitably change.
