“Ryan’s quotes sound pretty confident that they can turn things around against the Colts suspect defense: “(We) just need to get back to executing in the way we are capable of. That was directly referring to last week’s games. The Redskins find themselves in the thick of the NFC East race after a 47-14 dismantling of New Orleans last week as they sit a half-game behind the division-leading NY Giants.

Weather: The forecast in Charlotte, North Carolina, offers clear skies with a small chance of precipitation. “If you go down there and make a statement-and I’m not talking about lose close, I’m talking about win the game-I’m telling you, all of a sudden all bets are off and things are starting to change just the way you would want them to”. Of course not. It doesn’t mean they can’t punch a better team in the nose and win a game though. “He’s gaining confidence, and their team is gaining confidence”.
The Washington Redskins went ahead and got a defensive coordinator fired on Sunday, after Kirk Cousins had a career day through the air. He’s seventh in the National Football League in rushing and has four touchdowns rushing in the last five games. Luke Kuechly has returned to form after he also had a few major concussion issues earlier this season.
The Redskins seek their first win over an undefeated opponent this late in the season since Week 11 of the 1975 campaign when they edged the 10-0 Minnesota Vikings 31-30 at RFK Stadium.
Cam Newton’s dance moves dominated the headlines this week, but he and the Carolina Panthers hope to keep finding reasons to celebrate.
“We’re scoring touchdowns instead of field goals”, offensive coordinator Mike Shula told the Washington Post this week. Both teams are coming off of big wins; however, the home team is definitely the favorite to claim victory.
Carolina has had no trouble sustaining momentum this season. And, two plays later, Washington cashed in, as Cousins found Jackson over the top for 56 yards and a touchdown.
The Redskins must be wary of Carolina’s fine secondary, led by Josh Norman, who is having an All-Pro season. “We have a lot of games that we can look back on and say, ‘Why did this happen on the road?'”
So, if you accept the obvious notion that Carolina isn’t going 16-0 (or 15-1 because this doesn’t look like a 15-1 team either – and again, Panthers fans, neither of those statements are an insult), the losses are going to have to come from somewhere.
Jackson absolutely turned on the burners on the play, showing off his deep threat capabilities that he flashed throughout last season.
The Redskins responded even more quickly after Tolbert’s touchdown, as wide receiver Andre Roberts took a kickoff 99 yards to the house for the tie.
