PREVIEW GAME:Sun, Nov 12 - Redskins vs Vikings @ 1:00 PM

• Kirk Cousins, Redskins can pull off upset against Vikings, but it won't be easy

The Washington Redskins shouldn't be alive. They should be finished already after an unfair fight against the Seahawks. But somehow, they're alive -- only just barely -- and breathing. We thought they were sunk, but they're floating on and on.

On Sunday, the Redskins went to Seattle down nearly an entire offensive line and managed to return home with a come-from-behind 17-14 win, which means they're not out of the playoff picture just yet at 4-4. Did the Redskins get lucky? Absolutely, considering Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh missed three field goals. But Washington also deserves credit for the win.

Unfortunately, it won't get much easier. That's because on Sunday, the Redskins will host the 6-2 Vikings, who are coming off their bye week with a four-game winning streak. Just like the Seahawks, the Vikings' defense will also present problems for the shorthanded Redskins.

Don't count out the Redskins, though. As the win over the Seahawks demonstrated, they're capable of pulling off the upset.

Due to injuries, the Redskins have been forced to trot out a makeshift offensive line to protect Kirk Cousins
