Five Key Matchups: Redskins
Take a look at five of the key matchups in Sunday's game between the Broncos and the Redskins.
Von Miller made his 2013 regular season debut last week against Andrew Luck and the Colts. This week he'll be looking to record his first sack and will have to do so against the ever-elusive Robert Griffin III.
As is key every week, the defense's ability to slow down Peyton Manning has a huge impact on the game. So far this season he's thrown for more than 2500 yards and 25 touchdowns.
Knowshon Moreno, who leads the team with 413 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, will have to work around LB Brian Orakpo who has six tackles for loss this season.
Tight end Jordan Reed had a breakout game last week with nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown. Danny Trevathan leads the team in interceptions with three of them coming from the linebacker position.
Alfred Morris, the Redskins' leading rusher has 472 yards on 91 carries this season and has scored three touchdowns. DTs Kevin Vickerson and Terrance Knighton have anchored a run defense that has allowed the fewest yards per game in the NFL.
