Campbell and Portis stepping up:Jason Campbell may not get the attention he deserves outside of the capitol district, but he is off to a great start, having yet to throw an interception through five games. In the meantime, Portis had his second consecutive 100-yard performance, the latest coming against Philadelphia's top-ranked run defense last week. It could be a long day for St. Louis' 31st-ranked defense.

Defensive dominance: Need proof that Washington's defense is for real? The Redskins have held five of the league's top offensive teams below their season averages. So far, the Eagles are only team not to have had their worst offensive output against the Redskins this season.

Haslett taking charge: Former Coach of the Year Jim Haslett replaces Scott Linehan, who was fired following the Rams' 0-4 start. His first move was to reinsert Marc Bulger as the team's starting quarterback.
