I thought after two weeks of solid play, I'd collect all the Redskins stats and take a litmus test to measure how we compare with the other teams in the league. It's about what one would expect: Middle of the pack. However a few stats jump out including the Redskins ranking #1 in time of possession 35:33. That's how you win games!
