The Washington Football Team is taking a page out of the Dallas Cowboys playbook for their remaining three games of the regular season and bringing their own heated benches to each game.

The benches seemed to do the trick for the Cowboys as they beat Washington 27-20 that night. Perhaps at 6-7, WFT is hoping for that same luck.
