The wait is over.

On Sunday afternoon the Washington Redskins will face off against the Indianapolis Colts in the first game of NFL exhibition play.

The Colts, after falling to the San Diego Chargers in the second round of last year's postseason will seek revenge on a league after an impressive 13-3 campaign down the drain.

Though without familiar faces Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison, expect the Colts to give Clinton Portis' Redskins a run for their money as the two teams square off in front of a football-starved America.

Last season the Redskins finished sixth in the NFC with a 9-7 record.
