OK, Rex Grossman. We're watching you. The division is yours for the taking. What have you got?

Coming off a bye week, the Redskins have a chance to put a stake in the heart of the Eagles and keep themselves atop the NFC East. The Eagles will test the newfound strength of the Redskins defense, but the 'Skins likely will find success in the running game against a struggling Philly defense.
Sb-nation-news-1_medium 9 11 This is a pretty quiet 3-1 team but they'll get some attention this week as they face the 1-4 Eagles and try to deliver a possible knockout punch to Philly.

Logo-cnnsi_medium 10 10 There's going to be a fight among Redskins rushers to see who gets the lead role this week against the porous Philadelphia run defense. If I'm the Shanahans, I run Tim Hightower, Ryan Torain and Roy Helu all at the Eagles, all game long. I wouldn't make Rex Grossman win this game unless it becomes absolutely necessary. If Washington has to throw more than 20 times on Sunday, something went wrong with the game plan.

More and more, I'm actually starting to believe the Redskins really are the best team in the NFC East. A win in Philadelphia this upcoming Sunday would prove that thought to be one which is accurate.

NA The Redskins are off to an impressive 3-1 start, but two of those wins came against the Cardinals and Rams who are a combined 1-8 and just not that good. What’s even worse is that they aren’t blowing away weaker opponents like that, as both the Cards and Rams had a chance to drive down and take the lead in the last two minutes. Their win over the Giants was impressive, but since then their passing attack has steadily declined. The rushing attack seems to work against weak opponents, but gets stifled against tougher defenses, meaning it isn’t something the Redskins can rely on right now. The defense though, has been great and has the ability to just shut down opponents (allowing zero TD’s on the road against Dallas).

Could the ‘Skins really knock the Eagles out of the picture this Sunday with a win?
