Now 0-3 in prime-time games this season, the Redskins (6-4) lost sole possession of second place in the NFC East and sit just one game away from being shoved out of the playoff picture.

“This group has a lot of confidence,” center Casey Rabach said. “We see what we're capable of, and we know what we're capable of. It's about execution.
