The Washington Redskins face the Tennessee Titans on the road in a Saturday contest from Nissan Stadium in Nashville. It has been eight years (2010) since the Redskins last visited Nashville and only their fourth trip since the Titans relocation to Tennessee prior to the 1997 season.
Washington snapped a four-game losing streak last week and are led by the ultimate underdog in quarterback Josh Johnson. Johnson picked up his first ever career win as a starter with the Redskins being his 12th NFL team.
Washington will try to secure their fifth road win of the season and improve their record to 8-7.
The physically imposing Titans come into the game with an 8-6 record.
What would a win over the Titans do for the Redskins from a statistical and historical standpoint?
A win over the Titans would keep the Redskins in playoff contention with one week of football left in the season.
A win would improve the Redskins record against the AFC South to 2-2 marking the third consecutive season that the team has registered two-plus wins against the AFC.
Winning on Saturday improves the Redskins’ all-time regular season record against Tennessee to 7-6.
A ‘W’ would improve the Redskins’ all-time regular season road record against Tennessee to 3-3.
A win marks the third consecutive victory over the Titans dating back to 2006 and would be the third consecutive road victory over the Titans dating back to 2002.
A victory would give the Redskins a 5-3 road record which would be their best mark in a single season since finishing the 2012 season 5-3.
A win would be the first time that the Redskins have gone 2-0 in regular season road games against AFC opponents since 2010. That year the Redskins defeated Tennessee in Week 11 and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.
Finally, a win gives the Redskins consecutive road wins for the first time since Week 3 and Week 5 of the 2016 season.
