Tough Challenge Awaits Redskins Defense
6 years agoThe Washington Redskins defense has been one of the more impressive groups in the NFL this season. They've suffered one letdown against New Orleans, but they have been quietly elite in each of their other six games. A difficult test is coming to town in the form of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Falcons have committed just four turnovers on the season. The Redskins have forced 13, so it will be interesting to see which side gives in on that front. Atlanta is also averaging 27.1 points per game, good for 11th in the NFL. Washington's defense has proven to be a solid play even against some of the league's better offenses, but don't be afraid to explore your waiver wire for a streaming option if you're not entirely sold on them against the Falcons.
