Preview: Can the Redskins end their road futility? | CSN Washington
1-Road woes. The Redskins are a league-worst 0-5 on the road this season and haven't won a game on away from FedEx Field since upsetting the Cowboys on Oct. 27, 2014, a span of nine contests.

Three of the Redskins' final four games will be played away from FedEx Field. To put it bluntly, there's absolutely no chance they'll qualify for the postseason unless they end the drought.

In the pass game, they've allowed 38 such plays (eight have given up fewer). But in the run game, while they don't surrender long runs, they do allow a lot of solid gains with 39 plays of 10 or more yards (only six have allowed more).
