Contain Tampa Bay’s Huge Wide Receivers

The Buccaneers have two big-time targets on the outside, in receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans. They have both given defenses problems this season, and the Redskins’ young cornerbacks will have their hands full once again.

Both David Amerson and Bashaud Breeland have shown flashes of how talented they can be this season, but neither has been consistent in their play.

Jackson has 40 receptions and two touchdowns this season, while Evans has 39 receptions and five touchdowns. Quarterback Josh McCown will take a few chances down the field with his receivers in this game; the Redskins’ secondary will have to answer the challenge.
