REGULAR SEASON WEEK 10 WASHINGTON REDSKINS (5-3) VS. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (3-5)
Sunday, Nov. 11 | 1:00 p.m. ET
Raymond James Stadium (65,618) | Tampa, Fla.
The Redskins will look to win their second consecutive road game and move to 6-3 when they travel to face the Buccaneers.
Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. The Redskins hold a one game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East and enter the game with a 5-2 record against NFC opponents including a 1-2 record against the NFC South.
The last time the NFC East and NFC South were matched up in the regular season was 2015 when Washington finished 2-2 with wins over Tampa Bay and New Orleans. Washington enters the matchup with the longest active streak of forcing turnovers in consecutive games.
The Buccaneers enter Sunday's contest with a league leading 17 interceptions thrown and a total of 21 turnovers. Tampa Bay's turnover differential is minus 15 which ranks No. 32 in the NFL while the Redskins enter the contest tied for the fifth best mark in the league with a plus-seven differential.
A win would give the Redskins their third victory following a loss this season, break a 10-10 tie in the all-time regular season series against the Buccaneers, and hand them their first win in Tampa Bay since 2012.
