Rams at Redskins: Shane’s Select Seven
Shane Gray
In week 14 action, the St. Louis Rams (5-7) will be on the road in the nation’s capital to face the Washington Redskins (3-9). Last week, both the Rams and Redskins were involved in routs of opposite varieties, with St. Louis stampeding the Oakland Raiders 52-0 while Washington was wallopped by the Indianapolis Colts 49-27.
The Redskins are currently dealing with their second four game losing streak of the season. Earlier this fall, the franchise dropped four consecutive matchups in weeks three through six.
At the quarterback position, it's been a three-way carousel, with fifth year veteran Colt McCoy now at the reigns following starting stints by both Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins.
Offensively, Washington ranks 23rd in scoring, 30th on third down, fourth-worst in penalty yardage, fourth worst regarding fumbles and has given up the second most sacks.
Defensively, the Redskins are sixth worst in points allowed, third worst in total interceptions, third worst in touchdowns passes allowed, have drawn more flags than any other team and have relinquished the league’s highest opposing passer rating.
To make matters worse, Washington is -7 in regard to the always-telling giveaway/takeaway statistic. To date, only the New York Jets (-12) and the Oakland Raiders (-18) have faired worse in that regard.
