The Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins come together at FedExField on Sunday in a huge clash for Week 10 of the NFL 2016 regular season. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network. The game can also be watched online through live stream via the link below.
The Vikings come into today's game top of the NFC North with a record of 5-3, but recent slip ups have allowed the chasing pack to put real pressure on them.
The Detroit Lions are breathing down Minnesota's necks right now with a 5-4 record, and the 4-4 Green Bay Packers could also compete if they can pull off a string of wins in November.
That means the Vikings will be desperate to win today to maintain their advantage, but they will know the Eagles are a dangerous team, especially at FedExField.
The Redskins may not be anywhere near the table topping Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, but it is arguably the most competitive division in the NFL this season with no team having a losing record after nine weeks of the season.
But things can change quickly when things are so tight, and if the Redskins can win today against a strong Vikings' team they should get a boost of confidence that could carry them forward to compete for the postseason spots.
Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football the Baltimore Ravens claimed an easy win over the terrible Cleveland Browns.
That 28-7 result in favor of the Ravens condemned the Browns to their tenth loss of the season, and left them still waiting to taste victory this season.
The Browns will be disappointed somewhat as they managed to go in at half time 7-6 up and surely would have been hoping to keep things tight and try and snatch a close win on the road in Maryland.
However, those dreams were quickly wiped out once the second half started as the Ravens scored 15 unanswered points in the third quarter following by seven more in the final quarter to win 28-7 and move to a 5-4 record.
Even though we could pick apart that game and find all sorts of things wrong with the Ravens performance, they will at least be happy about their defensive work on Thursday night.
Yes, they were only playing the Cleveland Browns - the worst team in the entire NFL this season - but still what they achieved was impressive, and held the Browns to just 144 total yards at just 3 yards per play.
The Ravens secured four sacks through the game, and took away the ball three times.
However, Baltimore will be hoping that quarterback Joe Flacco can improve as the season continues, and his inconsistency is being reflected in all the Ravens' offensive work.
Flacco was better in the second half than the first, and Baltimore will know he must continue to build on that second half showing in the coming weeks if they are to stand a chance at making any significant impact on the postseason.
