John Clayton on the Redskins' Playoff Chances

This is the true key to scoring 5 more ppg. Last year we had 13 ints, and of the 16 teams with more picks, only 2 had fewer ppg -- all the others scored over 21 ppg.

If we get more picks, we should also score more points.

So you mean half the teams with a lower PPG than us had more turnovers and half didn't? That's not much of a stat. No doubt turnovers could greatly help, but lets not disguise the real issue. Our red zone offense. When you get 7 instead of 3, 21 becomes much easier. Between the 30s our offense looked great. Inside the 30s... not so much.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you misunderstood me -- or perhaps I'm misunderstanding you...

We were 17th in *picks* -- not ppg. So, the 16 teams ranked above us -- in picks -- all scored over 21 ppg (with the exception of 2 teams).
