Heading into Week 6

The Redskins incredibly stayed with the powerful Packer offense. Like the Houston game, they yielded yardage but were stingy with points.
Then boom, one big play to Anthony Armstrong, and the Skins are right there. Armstrong is only listed at 5'11". Is it just me or does he look 6'2"? I suppose anyone will look tall compared to Santana Moss.

Fantastic game by Laron Landry and he was recognized for it with NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. So the fortunate Skins improved to 3-2.

Looking ahead to the Colts matchup, what works in the Skins' favor is the absence of Bob Sanders and the overall susceptibility of the Colts' run defense.

The downside, of course, is facing the talented core of players, especially on offense with Manning, Wayne (averaging 100+ yards per game), Collie (90 yards per game) and Dallas Clark. Manning has an extremely strong record against NFC teams. Plus, they embarrassed the Giants in Week 2 and knocked off the previously unbeaten Chiefs last week.
