Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts will try to continue their push towards the playoffs as they take on the struggling Washington Redskins on Sunday at Lucas Oil Field Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

With five games left in their schedule, Colts head coach Chuck Pagano knows that every match is a must win situation even against a Redskins team that lost three consecutive games and currently at the bottom of NFC East standings with a dismal 3-8 record.

The Colts are boasting the most explosive offense in the league at 433.8 yards per game. However, Luck believes the team could still improve their performance with a better effort from the team's offensive line.

"We understand there's stuff to clean up, a lot of stuff to clean up," Luck told reporters via ESPN. "Some bad balls out there, at times, but that's what practice is for."

With last week's victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-3, Indianapolis (7-4) now has two and half game lead advantage ahead of their next trailer Houston Texans (5-6).

A victory against the Redskins will move them a step closer towards clinching a postseason ticket, while a loss will certainly blow the race wide open as the season enters the homestretch mark.

While the Colts are trying to fix their offensive line, the Redskins are surprisingly losing more games despite their stats in almost every statistical department. Washington is ranked 10^th in passing yards per game at 253.2 ypg and 16^th in rushing yards at 112.0 ypg.

They also have solid defense, as they placed 8^th in the league in opponents passing yards at 230.3 and 9^th opponents rushing yards per game. Then again, they just couldn't pull it off when the going gets tough, especially in the fourth quarter.

For fans looking for a rivalry game between Luck and Robert Griffin III, Sunday's ballgame might not feature the two top picks in 2012 Draft going head-to-head at any point of the match because the Redskins have already tapped Colt McCoy to be their starting quarterback.

Griffin might have won the Rookie of the Year plum in the Draft Class but Luck, the no.1 overall pick, has compiled a better career so far, with playoff appearances in each of his first two seasons with the Colts.
