Here is what you need to know on this Saturday, December 13, one day before the Washington Redskins go to the Meadowlands to play the New York Giants.

Three and out--Outscored across the board

1. I followed up on the condition of Chase Minnifield, who was put on injured reserve December 6 with a concussion. “He is doing OK now, he is doing better,” said Redskins coach Jay Gruden. “It was just a move we had to make to free up a roster space and make sure he gets OK and cleared from all the doctors because he struggled after the game.”

2. The Redskins have been outscored in every quarter this this season. Their best is the third, where opponents have a 72-61 edge, a margin of minus-11. But they then follow it up with a minus-40 in the fourth quarter with a 103-63 deficit. Washington is minus-22 in the first quarter (55-33) and minus-32 in the second (116-84).

3. When you roll it all up you have the Redskins getting outscored by 346 (26.6 points/game)-244 (18.8 ppg.). Their point differential of minus-102 points (-7.8 ppg.) is 27th in the NFL. Last year the Redskins were a bit better on offense, averaging 20.9 points per game and about a field goal per game worse on defense, giving up 29.9. The NFL average is 23 points per game so the Redskins have some work to do to get to be mediocre.

Out: The Redskins are known to be a rather loose bunch in the locker room. There is usually a lot of loud talking, loud music, and general horsing around. One young player who played in a successful program in college doesn’t understand why the atmosphere isn’t more, well, professional. He says that the atmosphere in his former locker room, filled with guys from ages 18 to 22, was very business like compared to the atmosphere at Redskins Park. I don’t know how much this matters and I haven’t been in another NFL locker room on a regular basis so I can’t compare. I’m just putting it out there.
