The Washington Redskins are about to be put to the test.
They are in first place in the NFC East by one game, but they are on the road Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys, and they have to play the rest of the season without No. 1 quarterback Alex Smith.
Smith suffered a broken tibia and fibula against the Houston Texans Sunday and his season is over. Backup quarterback Colt McCoy takes over the position, and his first start will be a battle for first place. If the Cowboys win, they will move into a tie for the division lead, while a Washington win gives head coach Jay Gruden's team a two-game lead.
