5. The Redskins pass protection
The Redskins offensive line gave up three sacks last week against the Houston Texans and there were also several other hits in the pocket on quarterback Robert Griffin III. Much of that pressure can be attributed to the dominance of Texans defensive end J.J. Watt but needless to say the O-line will need to perform better.

The Jaguars may not have a J.J. Watt on their defensive front but they do have same good pass rushers as five sacks last week against the Eagles can attest. Former Redskin Chris Clemons was one of the big free agent signings the Jaguars made in the offseason along with Red Bryant.
Another Jaguars defensive end Andre Branch had two sacks himself last week. So the Jags will definitely be coming after the quarterback on Sunday and the Redskins O-line needs to be ready for them.
