Three to Focus on: Patriots @ Redskins, Week 14 | ProFootballFocus.com
The Redskins’ defense has struggled against tight ends, giving up five scores to them, the most recent example being Jason Witten’s 69-yard catch-and-run. Based on game tape so far this season, the Redskins will likely want to defend these two with Josh Wilson, O.J.
