Refocused: Washington Redskins 27, Los Angeles Rams 20
BY PFF ANALYSIS TEAM

TOP 5 GRADES:

TE Gerald Everett, 83.2 overall grade

DI Ethan Westbrooks, 81.3 overall grade

HB Todd Gurley, 80.8 overall grade

LB Mark Barron, 77.5 overall grade

TE Derek Carrier, 77.4 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:

QB JARED GOFF, 43.1 OVERALL GRADE

After a big turn around last week, Goff looked as he did as a rookie. When Goff was pressured he struggled, while he did complete a touchdown pass under pressure, there were many bad decisions, as he struggles to break everything down under pressure

HB TODD GURLEY, 80.8 OVERALL GRADE
Gurley supporters have been waiting a long time to see the promise he showed in a five week span as a rookie, this week he looked better than he has in recent games. Against Washington he showed his skill set as a receiver, which is surprising given his reputation, however when he is in space he is able to use his quickness and strength to gain some big yards after the catch.

LB MARK BARRON, 77.5 OVERALL GRADE
For better or worse, Barron was a constant participant at the point of attack on runs (63.3 run defense grade), but he was more effective in coverage. The two receptions he allowed went for a total of just nine yards, and his seven total defensive stops led the Rams today.

LB ALEC OGLETREE, 27.9 OVERALL GRADE
There’s no sugar-coating it – it was a miserable day for Ogletree. While he did notch a sack on a well-timed blitz, he struggles to defeat blockers at the second level (37.5 run defense grade), and had numerous mishaps in coverage as well (28.3 coverage grade).

TOP 5 GRADES:

T Morgan Moses, 85.4 overall grade

DI Matt Ioannidis, 81.5 overall grade

CB Josh Norman, 78.7 overall grade

T Trent Williams, 78.2 overall grade

TE Vernon Davis, 78.2 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:

T MORGAN MOSES, 85.4 OVERALL GRADE

Moses set the tone for an impressive rushing performance by Washington, as his 88.3 run-blocking grade was the best of the game. He did give up a hit and a hurry in pass protection, but against the Rams’ impressive front he still put together an impressive all-around effort.

TE VERNON DAVIS, 78.2 OVERALL GRADE
Davis is worth mentioning because of his strong play on run blocks, as he consistently held the point of attack or collapsed his man down the line of scrimmage on runs to his side. He had just one reception on the day, but with Washington’s emphasis on the run his play (84.1 run-blocking grade) was critical to the team’s win.

CB JOSH NORMAN, 99.9 RUN DEFENSE GRADE
Josh Norman is mentioned not because of his coverage, which he only allowed 2 catches, but for his work in the run game. Norman perfected the peanut punch by forcing 2 fumbles against Gurley with strong punches on the ball.

DI MATT IOANNIDIS, 81.5 OVERALL GRADE
The second-year defensive lineman was a force against the Rams with 4 total pressures on just 19 pass rush attempts, as his quickest moves were too much for the interior offensive line.

Goff looked much better than he did last year and made some great throws but he was under some pressure fairly often.

Yea, you gotta question the source when they're tearing Goff apart for that game. Y'all want a laugh?

QB DAK PRESCOTT, 71.0 OVERALL GRADE
Prescott wasn’t terrible in this game, but he was far worse than you typically expect, and could easily have had another two interceptions on the day had Dez Bryant not turned defensive back to prevent Aqib Talib picking them off. Balance that with the two he did throw being a throw off his receiver’s hands, and a pass that was tipped at the line, and you have a strange outing for Prescott this week.

PFF doesn't try to analyze defensive responsibilities. They only look at 1-on-1 match-ups, so they wouldn't punish Barron harshly for the thing that made him so ineffective today (being completely out of place in the run game because he wasn't reading his keys).

What?!!

Many bad decisions?

Looked like he did as a rookie?

That's mental! He looked nothing like he did as a rookie. He extended plays not only by stepping up etc but also by leaving the pocket altogether when necessary. For example, the long pass to Everett.

He made good decisions and didn't risk turnovers. Chris Spielman said as much.

He made some good passes under pressure. The only real mistake he made was the interception. Even I could've telegraphed where that pass was going.

I can't believe that description.

Note on Spielman: excellent colour analyst. Always learn something when he's doing the game.

Wow. I just stopped caring about PFF. I can understanding hating on a dude, but Goff was great aside from the pick.

I wouldn't say Goff was great.

Trust me i am a huge Goff fan and think he is in store for a nice season and career.

But he did miss some passes early on and then later wasn't scanning the field to find the open guy when other QBs could have.
