On Thanksgiving, the Redskins pulled out their second consecutive division win against the Dallas Cowboys, 38-31. The previous sunday, the Redsking beat the Eagles 31-6, and they looked really good coming out of the bye-week. Quarterback RGIII threw for 311 yards with four touchdowns and only one interception against the Dallas defense, and running back Alfred Morris scored the other touchdown.
Although the Redskins looked outstanding, their defense didn't do as well in the second half. At halftime on thursday, it was 28-3, but the defense gave up four touchdowns in the second half. This leaves room to believe that although the Redskins are looking strong, their defense needs to get stronger and deal without key players such as Brian Orackpo and Brandon Meriweather.
The Redskins have to face the strong giants, who have already defeated them earlier in the season. If the Redskins do win against the Giants, they will be tied for first place in the division, and possibly with Dallas as well.
