I commented on this during the game. OLBs were often faking outside pass rush then going inside knowing that Carr was going to take a three step drop. Well executed by our guys.

Snaps- Greg Manusky played 20 of his 26 defenders over the course of 51 defensive snaps. The 51 snaps was the second lowest total for a Redskins' defense since at least 2015. The lowest total in that span came last week against the Rams (50 snaps).

The 6 defenders that did not see time on defense included: 3 inactives (Mason Foster, Anthony Lanier and Joshua Holsey) 2 only saw time on special teams (Chris Carter and Stefan McClure) and 1 player who was active, but saw no action of any kind (Josh Harvey-Clemons).

Will Compton, Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau and Deshazor Everett were the only players who got action on defense, but played on less than 25% of the snaps.

Quarterback Pressure- The Redskins had 4 sacks and 6 QB hits on a team Raiders team that did not allow a single pressure in Week 2. The Raiders had not given up 4 sacks in their last 20 contests.

The Washington defense has sacked opposing quarterbacks in 27 straight games and has posted multiple sacks in each week of the 2017 season.

The Redskins did not blitz on one of their 4 sacks.

Turnovers- Washington scored 3 takeaways (2 interceptions and a fumble recovery) on Sunday. They have forced at least 2 turnovers in every game this season, which is something they have not accomplished since Weeks 4-6 of the 2015 season. The last time they picked off two or more passes also occurred in 2015 (Week 12).

Derek had only thrown 6 interceptions on his last 620 attempts (his 17 previous games), and he threw 2 picks on 31 passes against the Redskins. This was the first time in his last 20 games that Carr has thrown multiple interceptions.

Third-Down Defense- In an amazing reversal from what we saw from this defense on third down last season, the Redskins did not allow the Raiders to convent on a single one of their 11 third-down attempts.

The last time the Redskins did not allow a single third-down conversion was in the final game of the 2007 season against the Cowboys, which is the only other time the Skins have not allowed a conversion on 11 or more such attempts since as far back as this data goes (1991). They also were perfect on third down against the Cardinals in 2002. That's it since 91.

Yardage-This was also one of the team's greatest all-time performances in terms of total offensive yards allowed. They only gave up 128 yards to the Raiders in the entire game. That is tied for the 22nd lowest offensive yards allowed by the franchise since at least 1940. The last time the defense did better in this regard was in the historic 1991 season when they held the Eagles to just 89 yards.

This game marked just the fifth time since the merger that a Redskins defense has held their opponent to under 130 yards of offense. The other four games came against teams that finished the year with an average winning percentage of .397 and an average ranking of 23rd in points scored. The Raiders currently rank ninth in points scored and are 2-1.

More Yards- The 128 yards of offensive allowed is the lowest amount of yards allowed by any team this season, and Oakland only had 95 yards before the final drive of the game.

The Raiders offense only took one offensive snap on the Redskins' side of the field in the game.

Points- The defense shutout Oakland in the first half. It was the team's fifth first-half shutout since Jay Gruden took over as head coach in 2014 and their first since Week 15 of 2015 (Bills).

Passing Defense- Oakland was held to 89 yards passing on the night. Washington's defense has only allowed fewer passing yards in a game three times since the 1970 merger, with the last time coming in the aforementioned 1991 drubbing of the Eagles.


Rushing Defense- The Burgundy and Gold held the Raiders to just 32 yards and 2 first downs on 13 rushing plays (2.5-yard average). The 32 yards allowed on the ground is tied for the fourth lowest rushing yards allowed by the team in the last 15 years. The only time a Jay Gruden coached team allowed fewer rushing yards was when the Redskins decimated the Jaguars in Week 2 of 2014 and held them to just 25 yards on 10 runs.

2017 Rankings- The Redskins now rank in the top-10 in 6 major defensive categories this season: 1st in first downs per game (13.3), 2nd in rushing yards per game (62.3), 4th in interception rate (4.21%), 5th in total yards per game (272), 7th in rushing yards per carry (3.17) and 9th in points per game (20).

the defense will come back down to earth but a middle of the pack ranking is obtainable and if that happens 10-6 is also in the cards

Matt Ioannidis- Matt Ioannidis played on 6 more snaps than any other Washington defensive linemen and led all Redskins D-linemen in snaps played for the first time in his career. Jonathan Allen is the only Redskin at this position group who has out-snapped Ioannidis through three games.

The Temple product continued to prove that 2017 will go down as his breakout season. He helped Zach Brown limit Marshawn Lynch to a gain of 1 on a first down and teamed with Allen on a third down sack of Derek Carr. His 5 pressures in the game came against Gabe Jackson who had never allowed more than 4 pressures in a game prior to facing off against Ioannidis. Ioannidis also led all Skins front-seven players in pressure rate (25%).

His PFF grade of 81.6 on the season is tops on the defensive line.

this kid has come a long way so far
