LONDON -- Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was eager to get on an airplane and head overseas to London.It wasnt the sightseeing he was looking forward to. It was the challenge.Norman, the leagues top-paid corner, will face a test in Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, who enters the game between the teams at Wembley Stadium on Sunday with the most catches and second-most receiving yards of any player.The Redskins have faced a number of top-tier wide receivers already this season, including the Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants and Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys, but Green is different.Hes the focal point of the leagues fifth-ranked offense and, at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, arguably the hardest of the bunch to bring down.I think hes a top-three, if not five, wide receiver in the NFL, Norman said Friday. Hes at the top of his (game). Its cool to see talent like that come out here that we get to match up with. Its always an opportunity to get better, and he is a person you can do that with.Whether Norman gets that chance, of course, remains to be seen. He missed most of the second half of the Redskins loss to the Detroit Lions last Sunday after sustaining a concussion, though he was cleared to participate in the teams practice at Twyford Ground in Acton and is listed as questionable to play.Although unlikely, the Redskins could also be without cornerback Bashaud Breeland, who is also listed as questionable on the injury report. He missed two games with a sprained ankle, then returned for the game against the Lions -- only to sprain his right ankle.That could force Washingtons defensive line -- particularly its pass rush -- to shoulder greater responsibility in containing Green and the rest of the Bengals fourth-ranked passing offense.That puts a little bit extra pressure on us to get after the quarterback and get it out of his hands a little bit quicker so they dont have to cover as long, defensive end Chris Baker said. But, weve got really good corners, and theyll be ready to go as soon as the game is on.Green, who has 50 catches for 775 yards and three touchdowns, has had three games already this season with at least 169 yards. That output was on display Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, when he caught eight passes -- including one for 48 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter.At the same time, the Redskins were struggling to finish off the Lions, who drove 75 yards in the final 1:05 to seize a come-from-behind 20-17 victory with 16 seconds remaining.Washingtons defensive strategy during that drive was criticized afterward by some players, including Baker and defensive end Ricky Jean Francois, as coordinator Joe Barry sent only three rushers at quarterback Matthew Stafford on the play in which Anquan Boldin had an 18-yard touchdown reception.Maintaining adequate pressure on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, then, will be paramount on Sunday. He has been sacked 22 times this season, the second-most in the league, and Baker said the Redskins have noticed how other teams have beaten Cincinnatis protection.If they can be successful there, and they can contain Green, a seven-hour trip home to Washington and a bye week will be all the more palatable for the Redskins.Every time you watch a game, you see him getting sacked a lot, so we just have to do our part in putting him in long-yardage situations and situations where he has to hold the ball, Baker said. I know our corners are going to do their job in playing tight coverage, so we have to do our job in getting after the quarterback and getting him down just like everybody else has.Game notes RB Matt Jones (knee) will not play on Sunday after sustaining what he said was a bruise and some cartilage damage in the second quarter of the loss to the Lions. Jones, who has 99 carries for 460 yards and three touchdowns, did not practice at any point during the week. Without Jones, the Redskins will turn to Chris Thompson, who ran for a career-high 73 yards against the Lions, and rookie Robert Kelley. They also signed Mack Brown off their practice squad and cut safety Josh Evans. ... Among the eight other players considered questionable for the game are LT Trent Williams (knee), WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder, hamstring), TE Jordan Reed (concussion), WR Jameson Crowder (groin) and RG Brandon Scherff (shoulder). ... The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Williams didnt get a chance to rest on the flight, but wasnt worried. You get one good night of sleep and youll be back on schedule, he said.

LOUIS -- Patrik Laine has been a one-man show for the Winnipeg Jets of late, and he capped his performance Saturday night with fitting flash.Laine set up Bryan Little for an overtime goal and also got his 16th score of the season, helping the Jets beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2.It feels good, said Laine, who has four goals and an assist over the last three games. And now we finally get the win as a team, so Im really happy.Laine pushed a backhand pass across the slot to Little 17 seconds into OT, helping Winnipeg end a six-game road losing streak.It gets a little bit of confidence in the room when you hit the road that you can play that game and get a good result, Jets right wing Blake Wheeler said.Laine tied Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby for the NHL goals lead with a score assisted by Little midway through the second period.Michael Hutchinson stopped 20 of 22 shots to get his first win since Oct. 28, snapping a string of four straight losses. Chris Thorburn also scored for Winnipeg.Alexander Steen and Dmitrij Jaskin scored for St. Louis. The Blues fell to 11-1-3 at home, ending their six-game home winning streak. The Blues have a point in their last 12 home games.The game just really wasnt consistent, Jaskin said. We had three or four power plays in the first period and its hard to get into the game and everything was kind of bouncing and it really wasnt going well.St. Louis failed to convert on all four of its power-play attempts, snapping a streak of four straight games scoring at least one power-play goal.Carter Hutton stopped 20 of 23 shots and has lost his last four games.Little won it withh his second goal of the season, blowing past Steen before one-touching Laines pass to complete a 2-on-1 rush.ddddddddddddI dont know where the two Blues guys were, Laine said. I saw Little going back door and I just wanted to pass it to him and it was an awesome finish.I didnt think we were going to get beat back door because it looked like a 1-on-1 to me, Hutton said. So Im playing the players and its not really my guy. Obviously, its frustrating.Thorburn opened the scoring with a short-handed goal. St. Louis Vladimir Tarasenko fanned on a shot attempt, leaving the puck for Blake Wheeler to lead a 2-on-1 break down the ice.Steen got St. Louis on the board 5:16 into the second period with his third goal of the season and first since Oct. 22. The goal was the 200th of Steens career.Jaskin scored his first goal of the season 2:10 later, elevating a shot just over Hutchinsons right pad.Laine buried a feed from Little to tie it 9:18 into the second period.Game notes Steen also got his 150th goal with St. Louis. ...
