Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins: 5 keys to victory

The Minnesota Vikings travel to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Redskins in week 10, but what are the 5 biggest keys to victory on Sunday?

At one time, many experts around the NFL considered the Minnesota Vikings to be the best team in the NFL. They had a 5-0 record and were the only squad not to suffer a loss through that point of the season.
