[Arky]

The 6-3 Texans head off to Washington DC this Sunday to take on the 6-3 Redskins in an early game on CBS. The Texans are coming off their bye week while the Redskins are coming off a 16-3 road win over Tampa Bay. The Redskins have some nice wins (GB, Car) however they come across statistically as mediocre. Their best team stat is that they hold the opposition to 19.4 pts/game (tie 4th). Still, 6-3 is 6-3 (just ask the Texans). The Redskins offense is led by Alex Smith at QB and Adrian Peterson at RB. Smith uses an assortment of receivers in the passing game notably, Jordan Reed, Maurice Harris, Paul Richardson, Josh Doctson and Vernon Davis.

Texans are 2-2 all time vs. the Redskins, 1-1 in DC.
