Redskins by the Numbers

 
Well, the offense is now ranked 20th in the NFL and 23rd in yards per play. The Skins are eighth in rushing and 23rd in passing. They are 26th in third-down efficiency and they remain last in field-goal percentage. Jason Campbell remains first in the NFL in interception percentage. He's 17th in passer rating (84.3), tucked between Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb. Clinton Portis remains third in the NFL in rushing yards despite another modest output Sunday. He also is third in the NFL with 313 carries. The defense moved up to fourth overall in the NFL. The Skins are eighth against the run and eighth against the pass. They are fourth in the NFL in points allowed per game. They are eighth in third-down efficiency. The only categories in which the defense is not elite, really, are forcing turnovers and sacks per pass play (28th). (link)
