Trending the right way: After averaging 7.0 yards per rushing attempt against the Eagles the Redskins are now fourth in the NFL at 4.8 per attempt on the season. That’s over a full yard better than their 2015 average of 3.7 per carry.

Trending the wrong way: The rushing defense is not getting any better. The Redskins remain dead last in the NFL giving up 5.0 yards per carry to the other team.

Top three storylines:

Three headed monster—It’s too early to proclaim that the Redskins’ trio of running backs are something special but Matt Jones, Chris Thompson, and Robert Kelley are looking pretty good. Jones is on pace to rush for over 1,100 yards but he needs to watch out for Kelley taking too many of his carries. Meanwhile, Thompson is averaging 4.6 yards per carry and is on pace to rush for more than 300 yards.

Shutting them down—The Ravens scored a touchdown on their opening drive against the Redskins defense and they haven’t allowed one since. If you go back to the second half against the Browns that’s one touchdown in 10 quarters of play. The “fire Joe Barry” crowd has been very quiet lately.

Chink in the special teams armor—The Redskins’ special teams have been outstanding for the most part but they suffered a crucial breakdown in allowing a kickoff to be returned for a touchdown. Sure, the penalty on Vernon Davis put them at a disadvantage but they have to get off the blocks and make the tackle. One return alone isn’t an issue as long as they tighten things up from here on out.

Next three games

Sunday @ Lions (3-3)—The Redskins once went for 30 years, from 1968 through 1997, without losing to the Lions. Now the Lions have won three in a row against Washington. Detroit also has won its last two games. The last time the Redskins beat Detroit Jim Zorn was in his first year as the head coach. Nobody should expect a walkover for the visitors.

October 30 vs Bengals (2-3) in London—While the Bengals are still a quality team this game does not seem quite as daunting as it did when the matchup at Wembley Stadium was announced. The Cowboys steamrolled them on Sunday. Despite a pretty good arsenal of weapons Andy Dalton has just five touchdown passes in five games.

November 13 vs. Vikings (5-0)—How did the Vikings get to 5-0 without their starting quarterback and Hall of Fame running back? Let’s start with them being plus-11 in turnover margin. They have at least one takeaway every game and they have only turned it over once. Minnesota has more return touchdowns (4) than rushing TDs (3).
