Thompson definitely gets my game ball

Perine will get the start. They can't afford to over play Thompson. Plus with Raiders coming in Skins gonna have to score 30 plus to beat em... I see more pass attempts than runs anyway.
Do cracked ribs on a RB mean you miss a start?!?
Don't they play with flak jackets anymore?
Anyway, if Fat Rob can't go, who they got on the practice squad?
Perine on 1st and 2nd downs, CT on 2nd and long and 3rd downs.
Washington opened the scoring, going up 13 points on the strength of a RB Chris Thompson touchdown run, but the Rams would respond with a RB Todd Gurley touchdown run and a field goal, which drew them close to the tie until Thompson broke off a second long touchdown run.
The Rams would tie the game with another Gurley touchdown and a field goal, but Washington would win 27-20 due to a WR Ryan Grant touchdown pass from QB Kirk Cousins. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.
TOP 5 GRADES:
T Morgan Moses, 85.4 overall grade
DI Matt Ioannidis, 81.5 overall grade
CB Josh Norman, 78.7 overall grade
T Trent Williams, 78.2 overall grade
TE Vernon Davis, 78.2 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
T MORGAN MOSES, 85.4 OVERALL GRADE
Moses set the tone for an impressive rushing performance by Washington, as his 88.3 run-blocking grade was the best of the game. He did give up a hit and a hurry in pass protection, but against the Rams’ impressive front he still put together an impressive all-around effort.
TE VERNON DAVIS, 78.2 OVERALL GRADE
Davis is worth mentioning because of his strong play on run blocks, as he consistently held the point of attack or collapsed his man down the line of scrimmage on runs to his side. He had just one reception on the day, but with Washington’s emphasis on the run his play (84.1 run-blocking grade) was critical to the team’s win.
CB JOSH NORMAN, 99.9 RUN DEFENSE GRADE
Josh Norman is mentioned not because of his coverage, which he only allowed 2 catches, but for his work in the run game. Norman perfected the peanut punch by forcing 2 fumbles against Gurley with strong punches on the ball.
DI MATT IOANNIDIS, 81.5 OVERALL GRADE
The second-year defensive lineman was a force against the Rams with 4 total pressures on just 19 pass rush attempts, as his quickest moves were too much for the interior offensive line.
