Matchups
The Colts average 321 passing yards per game. The Redskins average 311 passing yards allowed per game. You got Colts receivers (other than Anthony Gonzalez, who’s out again)? Play them this week.
Running backs have had a good time catching passes against Washington, too.
The Colts kept the Chiefs out of the endzone last week. Their defense, despite giving up piles of yards, has been good at doing that.
Ryan Torain is the kind of runner who has gashed the Colts defense in the past, but Indianapolis found a way to hold Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones to just 113 yards last week. This will be a good matchup to watch.
Tight ends are a favorite target of Donovan McNabb, but the Colts have been stingy to opposing TEs.
