The Redskins make their home debut on Sunday at 1 p.m. against the Indianapolis Colts, but full coverage starts on NBC Sports Washington at noon!

The Redskins dominated Arizona in Week 1, rolling to a 24-6 win and controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. That's great and all, but one week later, fans want to know if the momentum is real.

Washington will make their home debut on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, and based on Week 1 performances, the Redskins will be expected to win. They don't play the games on paper though.

For the Redskins to get to 2-0 for the first time since 2011, here are four factors to watch:

Keep running - The Colts gave up more than 100 yards rushing in Week 1 to the Bengals, and Washington's dominance on the ground has been well documented. Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson combined for more than 150 yards rushing, and Washington collectively put up more than 180 yards on the ground. Alex Smith opens up a lot of opportunities in the run game, as well as a healthy offensive line. All offseason Jay Gruden talked about wanting his team to run the ball and stop the run. That formula worked in Week 1 and the 'Skins should continue to try the same technique in Week 2. Rough and tough - Much of the focus from the Redskins big win in the desert went to the offensive side of the ball, but arguably the most impressive performance came from the Redskins defensive line. The group held David Johnson to under 40 yards rushing and consistently forced the Cardinals into long third down situations. The interior pressure forced Arizona QB Sam Bradford off his spot in the pocket and messed up the timing of the Cards offense. The good news? The Redskins crew of Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, Ziggy Hood and Tim Settle should be able to do it again. The Colts have talent on the offensive line but are also young. The Colts rush attack does not present the same challenge as Johnson, and the team rushed for only 70 yards in their season opener. If the Redskins shut down the Indy run game, that lets the team focus on stopping Andrew Luck. Speaking of Luck - In his first game back from injury in two seasons, Luck threw 53 passes in Week 1. 53! Throughout his career in Indy, the Colts have overly relied on Luck, and it looks like that's the plan again in 2018. Washington will work to run the ball and control time of possession, which will limit Luck and the Indy offense. In Week 1, the Redskins controlled the ball for 23 minutes in the first half, rendering the Cardinals offense out of sync and off the field. A similar approach would help the 'Skins defense. Luck might be working his way back from injury, but he's still a dangerous QB with an elite deep weapon in T.Y. Hilton. It seems quite possible the Redskins blitz more this weekend, and try to force Luck to make plays on the move and maybe create mistakes. Facing Johnson, the Redskins deployed a more conservative strategy going after the QB. The Colts don't have a dynamic running back to defend, and that might mean more opportunities to send pressure at Luck. Prove it - The Redskins looked really good in Week 1. How good?

For years, however, the Redskins have struggled to produce consistent efforts. The Redskins have not started 2-0 since 2011, and have not won a home opener since 2014. This Redskins team feels different. The vibe was different throughout training camp, and the team has more veteran leaders on the field in guys like Alex Smith and Adrian Peterson along with Josh Norman and Ryan Kerrigan. This team has talent, and this team should win Sunday at FedEx Field. It's their turn to prove that this year things are different.

They said it

Alex Smith on turning the page from Week 1 to Week 2: "Every week is a different thing and something else is going to come up and we are going to have to be able to handle it. That’s an ongoing test."

Jay Gruden on the notion of the Colts as a trap game: "I don’t think we are in that position right now to be thinking of trap games at all. We’re not good enough to be thinking about that anyway. We’re trying to find our way as a football team, identity on offense and defense, a consistency to our football team. We had a great start last week, but we’re all about ball right now, trying to get better today and get ready for a very good, very talented, well-coached Indianapolis football team."

Colts head coach Frank Reich on Redskins RB Adrian Peterson: "I thought he looked great. I mean the guy's incredible. Truly one of the greatest of all time, just such an exciting and electric player. He still has that elusiveness and his inside running ability, the jump cut stuff that he's always had. I mean, I just think this guy is one of the true all-time greats."

Adrian Peterson on his NFL future: "Of course I plan on playing three to four more years, and I plan on playing those years at a high level."

News & Notes

Alex Smith has not thrown multiple TD passes in consecutive games since 2015. That's an oddly long time, and with two or more TD passes against the Colts, that streak will go down.

Ryan Kerrigan is expected to make his 113th straight start on Sunday. He has not missed a game in his eight-year NFL career. "That is a ridiculous stat at that position," Smith said of Kerrigan.

The Redskins haven't beaten the Colts since 2002. A guy named Peyton Manning probably has a lot to do with that three-game losing streak.

A win Sunday would give Jay Gruden an impressive 7-2 record against AFC opponents.

Through Week 1, the Redskins' offense ranks 1st in the NFL in rushing yards and time of possession.

Through Week 1, the Redskins' defense ranks 1st in the NFL in points allowed and third down stop percentage.
