If I’m predicting Cassel will have a 300-yard game, well, that means Dez Bryant must have a good game himself, leaving me to believe the Cowboys’ star wide receiver will outplay all the Redskins receivers individually Monday night.

Maybe since I believe this is an all-or-nothing type of game, the Cowboys will pull out a miracle, and Bryant would be part of the equation, even if he has just one 100-plus yard receiving game this season in the six games he’s played in.

That game came on Nov. 8 (the same game as Cassel’s 299-yard outing) when he totaled five receptions for 104 yards and one touchdown, averaging 20.8 yards per reception. That type of game could honestly happen tonight, and that’s not me being a complete homer, because the Redskins are far from being a perfect team, as they have problems on both sides of the football just like every other team in the division.

As for the Redskins’ wide receivers, their leading receiver this season is tight end Jordan Reed with 55 receptions for 541 yards, and next is Pierre Garcon with 49 receptions for 508 yards. Garson has played in all 11 games thus far this season, with his best outing being Week 1 when he caught six passes for 74 yards. In Week 9, he had his second-best game with four receptions for 70 yards, and he has three touchdowns on the season.

DeSean Jackson has played in four games this season, with his top outing being on Nov. 22 against the Carolina Panthers where he totaled five receptions for 87 yards and one touchdown.

With those numbers, and if Dez and Cassel can click like they did against Philly, there is no doubt he can outplay any of the Washington receivers in this game.
