Can the defense keep it going? After a standout day vs. Baltimore, the Redskins have a chance to build real momentum after holding the Ravens to 3-of-15 on third-down conversions and forced eight punts. Washington played a smart, sound game defensively for the first time all season and kept forcing Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco to throw underneath the coverage, which is why he averaged 4.6 yards per pass attempt. They cut down on their missed tackles, too. But to make it mean something, the Redskins know it can't be a one-week effort. -- John Keim
