The Redskins have been in this situation 48 times, which is 12th in the league. But they’ve been in this spot 31.8 percent of the time, which is ninth. The Redskins have converted just four of those instances into first downs (last in the NFL). The average number of first downs picked up is 12. The bad numbers don’t end there: They’ve been sacked seven times in these situations -- second most in the NFL -- and average an NFL-worst 3.71 yards per pass attempt.

By comparison, last season they had 64 third-and-10-plus situations -- but they converted 25 percent into first downs, a far greater percentage than this season. Also, they were in this situation only 27.2 percent of the time.
