PFF: Review of Redskins vs Browns Game
Logn Paulsen: The big tight end was efficient if unspectacular in the passing game, catching all four balls thrown his way for 47 yards, 25 of which came after the catch - but it was in the run game that he really stood out in this game. Paulsen (+3.3) was a big part in the success of the Washington running game, sealing in whichever Browns defender lined up over him and allowing his running back to make it to the edge and turn the corner. The Redskins averaged 4.7 yards per carry around the end to the left of the formation, and 9 yards per carry around end to the right with Paulsen taking on linemen, linebackers, and secondary defenders. The Redskins appear to have found themselves a player.

Could the offensive line be the Redskins’ undoing?
Mike Shanahan doesn’t sound worried. It could be coach-speak of course, but in Mike Jones’s Tuesday story about the O-line, Shanahan praised the depth that he’d drafted over two years, and noted that different line combinations rotate in during practices. If the man who studies these players as closely as anybody is confident, maybe you should be too.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III and running back Alfred Morris have been integral parts of the Redskins success this season.
