Byron Leftwich, who grew up in Washington, D.C., and former Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell will try to outduel one another when Washington plays host to Jacksonville in Week 4. "I've been studying the Jaguars the last couple days, and there's not a weak link on that defense. We've got our hands full," Brunell said. "They're physical, aggressive and have great speed. That's what makes you one of the best defenses. They do it all." Leftwich, meanwhile, has bought 100 tickets for friends and family (http://www.jaguars.com/Story/5501.asp). Leftwich's passer rating this season is only 70.7, mostly because he already has as many interceptions as he had all of last season (4 vs. 5). However, he has been getting help from a strong running game, which includes rookie Maurice Drew, who rushed for 103 yards on only 13 carries last week in Indianapolis. "I think you saw today some glimpse of why we're so excited about him," Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said. Washington is No. 15 in the NFL against the run. Kickoff on Sunday is set for 4:15 p.m. ET.
