Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET at FedEx Field the Washington Redskins (1-3), hoping to rebound from a drubbing on Thursday night against the Giants, will host the defending champion Seattle Seahawks (3-1) on ESPN.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is back on the field after a week off in Week 4. The last time Seahawks fans saw their quarterback he was engineering a surgical, game-winning drive in overtime against the Denver Broncos. That drive by Wilson came after a signature two-minute drill by Peyton Manning that tied the game failed to shake him.
"I don't think anyone ever doubts Russell. He's just too good," tight end Zach Miller said.
Doubts may be creeping in about Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins though. Last Thursday was a debacle for the Washington passing game. Cousins was 19-for-33 for 257 yards, and managed only one touchdown against four interceptions. It was Cousins' worst performance of the season, and came after throwing five touchdowns against just one pick in his previous two outings.
Washington coach Jay Gruden expressed confidence in Cousins moving forward, and shrugged off the woeful game as a learning experience for a still-young passer. "He's frustrated with some of the throws that he made and maybe some of the decisions," Gruden said. "Moving forward, it's a great learning experience for a guy like that."
Still, his shakiness cant be ignored with Seattle's "Legion of Boom" secondary invading. Expect the Redskins to lean heavily on running back Alfred Morris despite Seattle's fourth-ranked rushing defense per FootballOutsiders.com.
