1 Slow down Morris
Though Washington fell 17-10 to open the season, the team got its run game going in a big way. Alfred Morris, the fourth-year back out of Florida Atlantic, rushed 25 times for 121 yards last week -- good for an average of 4.8 yards. In his three-plus seasons in the nation’s capital, Morris has already become the storied franchise’s all-time leader in rushing average, with 4.53 yards per carry.
In last year’s matchup between Washington and St. Louis, Morris had only eight carries for 6 yards. Don’t expect the same for Sunday.
