Someone said, I think it was Colin Cowherd, that the two most important stats for determining whether or not your team is primed for a playoff run is turnover ratio and 3rd down conversion percentage.

It was something like, if your team maintains 41% on 3rd downs for the year, there's a 70 or 80% chance you make it to the post season.

There will be a time when this team absolutely must have a critical takeaway in order to win the game. The Redskins have to break this drought of not getting turnovers if this season is worth anything.
