3.  The Redskins cornerbacks vs. the Giants wide receivers

The New York Giants receivers aren’t exactly lighting it up this season as the Giants passing game has struggled to get going as they learn a new offense.  However, Victor Cruz had a good game on Sunday against the Texans as he had catches for 107 yards and 1 touchdown.

And one should expect that with the more games the Giants play the more comfortable they will become in the new offense and the better their quarterback and receivers will play.  Also, the Redskins have depth issues now at cornerback with DeAngelo Hall going down with an Achilles injury and Tracy Porter dealing with hamstring issues.

The Redskins will need rookie Bashaud Breeland and E.J. Biggers to step up in place of Hall.  Because although Breeland has played well so far as a rookie, Eli Manning will be sure to try to take advantage of his inexperience.
