here to fairfax to face some very serious felony charges. what we want to show you first here is a side by side shot of the composite sketch from the rape case he's now charged in. and jesse matthew's mug shot. matthew, we found out today, is now facing three felony counts, attempted murder, abduction with intent to defile, and rape. this all stems from a vicious attack on a 28-year-old woman who was simply walking home with her groceries back in september of 2005 along germantown road here in fairfax. about four years ago, police found a forensic link between that sex assault and the murder of virginia tech student, morgan harrington. today charges filed in the sexual assault, this afternoon, the police chief praises officers for their dedication. >> thank our investigative team who put so many hours worth of investigative work into this case. they never gave up.

tuesday's storm moves off the coast and becomes a nor'easter and by wednesday, we're seeing a high temperature of only 58 degrees. it will be rather windy on wednesday. and we'll see an 80% chance of shower activity. now the rain will come in, but we're not talking a lot of rain out there. look, there's instagram for amelia segal. this is not supposed to be her name. but if you want to follow her, she is at amelia segal on twitter. this is supposed to show the nor'easter towards boston. they are going to see the worst of this. we're going to see showers and cooler weather. it stays windy on thursday. with a high temperature of around 60 degrees. friday, 66 degrees. saturday and sunday, looking pretty nice. a little on the breezy side. not bad at all for the weekend, rather breezy. one more time, if you missed amelia's contact information. here it is. >> good to know. >> search amelia segal on facebook. >> way to go. get that subliminal message in there. >> she did this. >> thank you, doug. dianna is live in ashburn with more on the quarterback controversy. not this again, dianna.

>> reporter: i know! do you want to trade jobs? i'm getting tired out here, guys. all right. so colt mccoy the third string quarterback, he's the starting quarterback for the redskins. plus, a big blow to this redskins defense. a season-ending injury for brian orakpo. what does this mean for the rookie who is now going to start in his place? we're going to get to that, coming up. coming up. stay right here.

have you seen the news about barbara comstock? first, the washington post reported, barbara comstock failed to report eighty-five thousand in income. now, we learn, barbara comstock pushed a client's issues in the virginia legislature and didn't disclose it. barbara comstock shepherded a trio of bills through the legislature and into law, but barbara comstock never officially disclosed that all the while she was being paid thousands of dollars. no wonder she hid it.

he's been called a super lobbyist, the ultimate washington insider. ed gillespie paid millions to lobby for the oil companies for a student loan company that overcharged taxpayers. his firm even lobbied for five foreign governments including a dictator now awaiting trial for war crimes. and then there's enron. gillespie lobbied for them while they committed the largest corporate fraud in us history. ed gillespie. the million dollar lobbyist whose never looked out for you.

this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity. your home for the most live sports. we've got all kinds of new faces that are going to be emerging from this team next weekend, and colt mccoy who sounds like some cowboy who rode in it a '50s western. >> if only -- >> with a white hat, right? that's what we need. >> wendy, he was a star at the university of texas. so there you go. >> there we go.

with a name like that, he has to be from texas. >> exactly. and with that accent too. a really thick southern drawl there. so there is your cowboy. he was the cowboy for the redskins yesterday. helping them get that win against the titans after losing four straight. now guys, this may be a little confusing to you, so we're going to try to clear this up for you. jay gruden today said that colt mccoy will start against the dallas cowboys. as of right now. gruden said he wants to get him rest this week to get him ready. after coming off the bench and helping lead the redskins to their second win this season. while mccoy is currently tabbed as the guy, gruden won't rule out rg3. he's expected to go full at practice on wednesday. and if he's completely healthy, he's going to be the guy. >> robert has to first of all be honest with himself and how he's feeling. he's got to get out there and run around. and he's ultimately -- if he gets cleared from the doctors, which we don't know if he's totally cleared yet, we're still

going through the rehab process. he's going through his drills with the rate we want him to go through them and give him more this week and see where he's at. >> all right. so some tough news on the other side of the ball. really the biggest story today. brian orakpo will miss the rest of the season after tearing his right pectoral muscle in yesterday's game. the injury happened on this play in the fourth quarter. orakpo reaching to make a tackle. left the game. and he didn't return. this isn't new for the three-time pro bowler who suffered tears in his left pectoral muscle in both 2011 and 2012. chris cooley weighs in on the loss in this week's "cooley report." >> they acquired a guy in the draft in trent murphy and will get him more time, more reps. it's going to hurt him in the running game, because he's a good run defender and this is a tough spot against dallas. they've got to adjust.

>> robert griffin iii, seeing if he's ready to go. gruden says he'll make the decision. who do you think would be the better quarterback, robert or colt? >> i think colt will be the better quarterback at this point. and that's not a slight against robert. i watched him warm up in the game sunday, and he didn't look like he was quite to where he's electrifying. he has to be electrifying. that's his skill set. when your skill set is something and you can't do that, you're not ready. i think colt is the guy and gives the best chance to win. in the future, probably robert. >> all right. in the locker room yesterday after the game, desean jackson was asked about the critics out there who called them out for not blocking. you have been one of those, you talk about it on your radio show. he said -- >> [ inaudible ] >> what's your response to that? >> i have missed plenty of blocks and i can be critical of myself. i would have no problem. i would like it if he said i don't think i have to tell these

players to their face. i don't actually play for the team anymore. this is the job i do now. so i think he's probably the biggest play maker on this team now and in that role, fantastic. if the biggest problem we have this season is deshawn blocking or not blocking, we would be in great shape. cooley not offended by that. finally, history made last night in denver. peyton manning becomes the all-time leader in career touchdown passes. breaking brett favre's record of 508. his third touchdown pass of the night is what did it. demaryius thomas, 509. finished with four, making it 510. guys, he's 38, four neck surgeries. still at the top of his game. and oh, by the way, this game of keep-away was planned by peyton himself. wide receivers apparently practicing during the week. very, very peyton move. back to you. great move for denver. >> wow. to even get back on the football field at all after one neck surgery, pretty amazing.
