13. Quinton Dunbar, cornerback

Now entering his fifth season of professional football, Quinton Dunbar’s been a member of the Redskins since he entered the league in 2015. 113 tackles, a sack, 27 pass deflections, and five interceptions later, he’s expected, to be one of the starters.

He’s done so in only 14 of his 47 career games. Last season ended early when he was placed on injured reserve with a leg injury on December 5th. In his first game back he shares the responsibility of helping Josh Norman cover all of those Eagles receivers.

Might Philly find some success by looking in his direction?

14. Case Keenum, quarterback

Case Keenum has seen the ups and downs of a life in the NFL. It must have seemed like life couldn’t get any better after he pulled off the ‘Minnesota Miracle’ with Vikings. It must have seemed like things couldn’t get any worse after a 38-7 thumping at the hands of these same Eagles.

There haven’t been any more ‘ups’ since that night. In 2018, Keenum had a forgettable season in Denver. Despite throwing for a personal best (3,890 yards), he also threw the most interceptions of his career (15) while only throwing 18 touchdowns.

He returns to the site of one of the worst nights of his life, Lincoln Financial Field, on Sunday. If the ‘Skins’ are going to win, Keenum will have to carry them. Can he do it?
