They're calling today's game between the Redskins and Colts a must win game for Washington.
What else is new?

'Skins still in must-win mode as they visit unbeaten Colts - baltimoresun.com

The Washington Redskins lead the NFL in one category this season, however unofficial.
No team has played in as many "must" games.
Starting with a couple of seemingly meaningless exhibitions, the Redskins have constantly been in the mode of needing to win, whether it was to help repair their frazzled psyche or simply to keep pace with other teams in the NFC East when it comes to challenging for a playoff spot later on.
After losing two straight games that fell somewhere in that category - to the Tennessee Titans last Sunday at home and to the New York Giants two weeks ago at the Meadowlands - Washington (2-4) finds itself facing a similar scenario today when it plays the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts (5-0) at the RCA Dome.
Going into the Tennessee game, Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell did not think his team was in a must-win situation, but that loss has changed things for him.
"It's very obvious, we need a win," said the beleaguered Brunell. "We're certainly not where we thought we'd be, but hope is not lost. We have an opportunity to face a very good team, and hopefully come away with a win. They're one of the best, if not the best team in the NFL right now."

So is this a must-win game for the 'Skins? And if so, call they pull off the upset of the unbeaten Colts?
