Washington running backs vs. Giants linebackers on third down
Giants linebackers have struggled at times in pass coverage, and the Redskins have turned to their running backs for third-down conversions frequently. It is a combination that could be pivotal to Washington’s offensive attack, since the Giants’ linebackers are often required to cover the pass-receiving threats out of the backfield. Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown in the direction of running back Chris Thompson 17 times on third down, completing 11 of those passes for 66 yards.
