A lot of that is the opponents that Washington faced. Very few were crappy defenses, and most are fairly established squads.
But do not read too much into that after the NE game, that one game really put a scar on the Redskins rankings on both sides of the ball.
On defense, prior to the New England game, Washington was ranked 5th in total defense in the NFL and the best defense in the NFC east. They were also ranked #1 in the NFL in scoring defense.
After the New England game, the Washington defense is now ranked 12th in the NFL in total defense, ranked 15th in scoring defense and is LAST in the NFC East.
Everyone knows this team is better than those rankings
