The Washington Redskins aren't lacking for difference-makers on offense as they head into the playoffs. Wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon along with tight end Jordan Reed are all game-changers.
But the Redskins most important postseason weapon may turn out to be the 31-year-old running back signed off the league's scrap heap a few weeks ago—ostensibly to provide depth.
Pierre Thomas hasn't been at Redskins Park long, but he has already added some very useful skills to Washington's offense. Specifically, he's brought some veteran savvy and natural toughness to the running game.
