2025 Keys to a Victory Contest

CeeDee Lamb is unable to play. George Pickens gets ejected on the 3rd play from scrimmage for throwing a punch at Lattimore. Despite their team rushing for a season high 284 yards, Dallas loses by a point after Gay finally connects on his 3rd field goal attempt after a miss and a blocked kick.
 
I’ve said I think it’s a shootout, so I may as well lean into it. Three TDs of 50 or more yards for Washington lead to the win.
 
Let's get those predictions in folks - some great vintage Redskins keyrings to give away!
 
Luke will be the key to victory today. Well over 100 return yards setting the team up well on kickoff returns. He will also have his best receiving day with at least 5 catches and end up with 200 total yards.
 
Need JD to recognize to run quicker, 80 yards and a td, need their defense off balance all day without our 3 wide outs, Ertz also plays the short yardage receiver with 7 targets and 3 3rd down conversions and 60 yards.
 
Merrit gets a season high in carries.
McCaffrey has another " big " catch.
Defense plays better than expected and forces a turnover.
 
Bill with 24+ Carries 120 yards and 2 TDs, Ertz 80 yards and a TD & Lattimore with an INT all lead us to victory today!!!!
 
Ertz has 2 TDs, McCaffrey has 1. Bill has 100+ yards on 15 carries.
 
With the depleted receiving corps, Ben Sinnott has his biggest game of his career in the receiving department with 5 catches and a game winning score.
 
Let’s get those Kansas City game ‘Keys to the Victory’ guesses in… (Washington keys, not the Chiefs :))
 
This game is won on the ground. Even with some WR help coming back, this game is won because the creativity is back for the run game, and the Chiefs struggle to figure it out. Once that gets going, the passing hits a new gear we have missed for weeks. Maholmes is still Maholmes and our D is still our D, but the O (specifically run game with rotation of RBs) carries us in this one.
 
Best chance for us to win is if they decide NBA players aren’t the only athletes who should make money betting on the games. If they en mass bet on the Commanders to win we have a small chance.
 
The key will be keeping Mahomes off the field. They will have to dominate time of possession (40/20 or close to it). That will frustrate the Chiefs offense and keep them from being as explosive as normal. This leads to a Washington victory.
 
Keys to victory ... for Washington? Hmmm. Well, okay, here goes:

Bill runs for 150 yards; Rodriguez and McNichols run for 80 each; Mariota adds another 60 on the ground. Bill scores 2 TDs, the other three score one each, as the Commanders run for over 400 yards and dominate time of possession with a 45-15 advantage.

Chris Moore only catches 2 passes on 6 targets, but they're both long touchdowns, after Terry McLaurin has to leave the game in the first quarter, with what is later diagnosed as a torn left hamstring, when he is dragged down from behind by 310-pound DT Chris Jones at the end of a 60-yard catch-and-run on the first play of the game not a runon sentence. Deebo Samuel is once again ineffective due to a nagging heel injury, catching 1 pass for 2 yards, but surprising last-minute activation Trey Burks catches all 6 of his targets for 75 yards to help keep the offense moving. Robbie Chosen has zero catches on 5 perfect passes and announces after the game that due to his hands of stone he's legally changing his first name to Roberto.

Exciting young receivers Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane each have zero targets, with no post-game explanation of this oversight because both the media and coaches forget to ask or talk about the two. Zach Ertz, Ben Sinnott, and John Bates also fail to register any targets, with OC Kliff KIngsbury explaining that the team wanted to keep them fresh for run-blocking in the 'new' 3-TE, 6-OL "Super Duper Jumbo Wumbo Kliffy Plus" package somehow used effectively throughout the game. When reporters point out that just looks like a short-yardage formation, Kingsbury responds, "It's nothing like that - we did something besides run it up the middle like, three different times. Maybe two. And there was no tush pushing. And it's nothing like Air Raid."

Luke returns a kickoff for a TD; and three more are called back for illegal blocks. Lane returns a punt for a TD.
Gay misses 5 of 9 extra points and the Commanders refuse to let him try a FG, with 3 of their touchdowns coming on 4th downs inside the red zone.

It's a good thing the offense is fantastically, ridiculously, outrageously, you might say unbelievably or unrealistically good, because unsurprisingly the defense can't stop Patrick Mahomes, who throws for 500 yards and 8 scores, all on breakaway long plays after multiple missed tackles, including one where Travis Kelce carries Mike Sainristil piggyback the last 15 yards to the endzone while hurdling in succession Quan Martin and Jeremy Reaves when they attempt to bring him down by diving at his feet not another runon sentence. The only 'stop' comes when Mahomes' would-be 9th TD is called back because of a questionable pushoff by Kelce over the middle, even though a replay shows that Marshon Lattimore actually ran into Sainristil while Mikey was trying to 'cover' Kelce, with Roger Goodell tweeting immediately, "See, KC doesn't get ALL the calls!" This leads to the only punt of the game, which Lane takes all the way back for what turns out to be the game-winning score.

The Chiefs, having accidentally used all their timeouts when the referee/judges mistake Andy Reid's emphatic gesticulations during multiple sideline 'discussions' with Kelce, run out of clock on their final drive of the game and are forced to have Harrison Butker try a game-winning field goal, after driving to the 9-yard line, which is blocked by Daron Payne as time expires.

Commanders 58
Chiefs 56

This is awesome. This sounds like how I used to dream out Super Bowl 18 when I’d play football in the yard by myself. My imagination rewrote the whole game for a comeback victory. This took me back to being 6 and coming up with all the ways they could have won that game.
 
Get those Keys to a Victory against the Chief predictions in folks. Some amazing vintage Redskins keyrings to give away!
