The Redskins continue to prove they are a solid football team. Beating St. Louis doesn’t necessarily prove anything, but you still have to beat the bad teams on your schedule. After the bye, they have a big divisional home game against Philly, and then hit the road for two weeks. |
 |
11 | 13 | Quietly, the Redskins have put together a 3-1 record. They have a division game in Week 6 against the Eagles before a four-game streak of very winnable games. |

8 | 13 | Who had them to win the NFC East? Not many. But that defense and the running game are carrying this team now. |
 |
10 | 13 | The Redskins struggled to put away the anemic Rams, but you can't really quibble with them being 3-1 and two games ahead of division favorite Philadelphia as they enter their Week 5 bye. The more I see of Washington's defense this season, the more I like what Jim Haslett is building on that side of the ball. Bryan Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan are becoming quite the play-making tandem at outside linebacker, and they're consistently finding the football at key points in the game. |

They don't win pretty. They don't look like world beaters. The Redskins are 3-1 heading into the bye week, however, and they've certainly earned those three victories. |
