Will the Patriots be looking ahead? That question will be on the minds of
many trying to predict the outcome of this game, and the short answer is "yes."
New England's players and head coach will say all the right things during the
week, but it seems only natural that some on the roster will have an eye toward
what could be a monumental showdown with Indianapolis. Also problematic for the
Patriots is the fact that they will be playing the toughest defense they've seen
to date, and won't have things as easy as they did against the Jets, Bengals,
Browns, and Dolphins of the world. Still, the Pats have the talent on both sides
of the football to win this game by double digits, even if it takes four full
quarters to put Washington away. A lack of offensive punch will eventually doom
the Redskins, who also can't be expected to play perfect defensive football for
four quarters on the road.
