Washington Redskins Stats That Mattered in 2013 | Bleacher Report

A while back I made a comment how all of our units were terrible and how at many times each unit negatively affected the other. This stat is just ridiculous but it also sort of proves my point:

"38: That's the number of times the Redskins defense was forced to take the field in its own territory, which was the highest total in the NFL by a margin of five, according to ESPN's John Keim. Historically bad special teams and a high turnover rate will do that. "

That's an average of 2 times per game that special teams and/or the offense let the opponents start in Washington's side of the field.
