Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#25)

Last week: 26 (+1)

Record: 2-4

Robert Griffin had his best game of the season this week against an admittedly banged up Chicago defense. He led the Redskins’ offense to 5 touchdowns in a 45-41 win, throwing for 298 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception on 18 of 29 passing. He also rushed for 84 yards on 11 carries and now has rushed for 161 yards on 20 carries in 2 games since the bye. That’s all promising and could continue going forward. However, their defense allowing 4 touchdowns to a Bears offense led by Josh McCown for most of the game is very concerning. Their defense has been awful this season and won’t get any better with Stephen Bowen out indefinitely with a torn PCL.
