Last week: 22 (+4)
Record: 4-6
Despite, the Redskins’ sub .500 record, they do have a positive points differential, at +3. In fact, their points differential is actually better than that of the Cowboys, their 5-5 opponent this week, who is -13. This is because the Redskins have only lost 1 game by more than a touchdown (27-12 at Pittsburgh), despite their record. Of their 4 wins, 2 have come by more than a touchdown, including a 25 point win against Philadelphia last week. In games decides by a touchdown or less, they are just 2-5.
I think Griffin is definitely the rookie of the year. Both Luck and Griffin are really working with not much of a supporting cast, but despite Luck’s 6-4 record, the Colts are actually -50. Of their 4 losses, 3 have come by 20 or more, while only one of their 6 wins was by more than a touchdown. Luck is 5-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less and he’s been better on 3rd downs, but overall, Griffin is posting much, much better stats. Stats aren’t everything, but the difference is so noticeable. Griffin’s QB rating is 101.0, while Luck’s is just 77.2. Griffin has 613 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. Luck has 163 yards and 5 touchdowns. It’s not much of a contest.
