1.  The Redskins receivers vs. Giants secondary

The Redskins receivers had their best performance so far this season against the Philadelphia Eagles.  DeSean Jackson exploded with 5 catches for 117 and an 81 yard TD reception while Pierre Garcon had 11 receptions for 138 yards and a TD.  Slot receiver Andre Roberts played well and tight end Niles Paul has filled in admirably for Jordan Reed.

However, the New York Giants secondary more than likely will be the best the Redskins have faced so far.  as cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara are very good and safeties Antrel Rolle and Stevie Brown play at a high level as well.

Watch for them to play off the Redskins receivers especially DeSean Jackson as they can’t afford to let him beat them deep.  So there should be open areas for Cousins to find the other receivers underneath and Niles Paul may create matchup problems for their safeties and linebackers.                  Redskins vs. Giants
