An out-of-conference matchup between two teams that reside in the same region, here is the preview of the 2-2 Washington Redskins taking on the 3-1 Baltimore Ravens in M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Both the Redskins and the Ravens dwell in one of the most populated regions in the United States. Only 40 miles separate the two teams that leaves most football fans in the DMV area choosing sides. Baltimore has won three of the five all-time meetings between the two franchises, with the latest matchup being the exact game that jumpstarted Robert Griffin III’s lengthy injury history in the NFL.

Today however is a new day. A Ravens team that was depleted by injuries in 2015 got off to a 3-0 start to this season before suffering a tough home loss to the Oakland Raiders last week. In D.C., the Redskins are on a two-game win streak with eyes on making things right after an 0-2 start. Let’s breakdown the interesting matchup.
