Linebackers: Bringing pressure for all ends and good coverage on the tight ends we need more break through a for sacks though. Grade C
Secondary: The Redskins were able to grab 2 interceptions but also allowed 2 touchdowns which is something we need to stop doing if we’re gonna be successful this season. Grade C
Overall Defense: The Redskins did great in containing Indianapolis to 21 points but need to work on not allowing any points just like week one versus the Arizona Cardinals. Grade: C
Special Teams: The only source of points the Redskins had. Along with 3 field goals they did have one kick return for 19 yards. Grade A
Coaching staff: Attempted to bring competitiveness but just couldn’t get anything going although I have no doubt they’ll be working to improve the team during practice this week. Grade: C
Final Thoughts:
The Redskins just didn’t bring their all in this game hopefully next week they can come out and get some work done where they don’t rely on special teams. Grade C
