Tennessee Titans (2-4) at Washington Redskins (1-5)

Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at FedExField, Landover, Md. – TV: CBS

*TV announcers: Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon

*Keys to the game: The Titans are again in a waiting game with QB Jake Locker, who is attempting to return from a hand injury. While Locker brings more athleticism and certainly increased playmaking ability, backup Charlie Whitehurst has managed the offense adequately with one interception in 42 pass attempts. The Redskins rank 13th in pass defense and 12th against the run, but are 27th in points allowed in large part due to consistent breakdowns in the secondary — particularly in the red zone. The Titans will pound away with RB Bishop Sankey and complement him with leading receiver TE Delanie Walker and possession receiver Kendall Wright to set up vertical shots.

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins continues to mix intriguing potential with mind-numbing mistakes. He has lost seven consecutive starts and now must look over his shoulder at third-stringer Colt McCoy as Cousins has thrown seven interceptions over the past three games. Cousins’ issues have allowed defenses to stack up against RB Alfred Morris, who has yet to post a 100-yard game this season and has been held to 70 combined yards the past two weeks. The Titans will give up yards in chunks, but the onus is on Cousins to make the correct reads, particularly on third downs, where the Redskins are converting an abysmal 32.4 percent.

*Matchup to watch — Titans LT Taylor Lewan vs. Redskin OLB Brian Orakpo: Lewan gave up one sack in his first start in place of injured Michael Roos, and faces a stiff test in Orakpo, who enters with just a half-sack on the season but a chance to do damage with the Titans also forced to consider extra help for RT Michael Oher working against Ryan Kerrigan (6.5 sacks).

*Player spotlight – Titans CB Jason McCourty: He will likely draw the assignment against WR DeSean Jackson, who has 60- and 64-yard touchdown receptions the past two weeks.

*Fast facts: Locker has missed 16 of a possible 38 starts since being named the starter in 2012. … The Redskins are mired in their ninth four-game losing streak in the past 15 seasons.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY

In a battle of scuffling teams, the Redskins’ minus-nine turnover ratio certainly sticks out. But at home and against a soft pass defense, Cousins breaks out of his funk in a big way.

*Our pick: Redskins 30-20
