Featured Game Week 6 -
Indianapolis Colts At Washington Redskins
The Redskins need a win to keep pace with the Giants and
Eagles who both won today to up their records to 4-2. The Colts
are in a similar predicament as the Texans advanced to 4-2
earlier today, and either the Titans or Jaguars will be 4-2
after they play each other tomorrow. This is a big game for both
teams but not a must win for either. |

The Colts struck quickly after a McNabb interception. The first
play was a Manning to Garcon 57 yard TD pass. Not much in the
way of PossessionPoints, but 7 scoreboard points. |

Colts answer, so far this doesn't look like a defensive
struggle. The Colts moved efficiently down the field going 84
yards in just over 3 minutes. Much better in terms of
PossessionPoints than their first 11 second drive. |

Colts offense working at break neck speed. Running no-huddle and
keeping the Redskins back on their heals. This drive stalled out
but unlike an earlier drive they did get a field goal. |

Colts get the 10 point lead back in a hurry, but it wasn't with
Manning's passing. It was Addai's running that was responsible
for the big play and the TD on the drive that lasted 1 minute
and 57 seconds. |

A fumbled punt set the Redskins up with another short field that
they took advantage of to get a field goal. It is now a 7 point
game and an very close all yellow PossessionPoints game. |

drive of the night. This drive lasted 4 minutes and 7 seconds.

There is just over 8 minutes left in the game. |

Redskins put together a 90 yard 5 minute drive to pull within 3
points. Their offense has now turned green in PossessionPoints,
the only question is did they us up to much time. |

Well, it wasn't the Colts best game but it was good enough for
them to keep pace. The Redskins will fall 1 game off the pace of
the Giants and Eagles who are currently leading the division. |
