The way that this edition of Sunday Night Football is set up, a loss for one team will send things into a tailspin and probably spark even more dialogue involving the ‘hot seat’ and their head coach.

While a victory for the other organization will have their playoff chances progress and improve their current playoff seeding.

To tell you that the Green Bay Packers (4-5) is the team that is on the brink of slamming the ‘panic button’, it would sound surprising. This is a team that has a Super Bowl winning, elite quarterback, a solid head coach in Mike McCarthy, and a number of playmakers on both sides of the ball. However, a current three-game losing streak has the Packers laying on the canvas and staring at a non-playoff season.

The Washington Redskins (5-3-1) are fresh off a statement victory over the Minnesota Vikings at home in Week 10. Currently possessing the sixth seed in the playoffs, the Redskins have truly improved over the weeks and their 0-2 start to the season is a distant memory. A win here for head coach Jay Gruden and his ball club can give the team even more momentum as they head into a final six-game stretch in which they have four road games. Here is the analysis of the Sunday night matchup.
