The fact that Washington’s defense was the unit keeping hopes alive against the Bears shows just how far the unit has come in two months. They were ranked 26th in yards allowed heading into the first matchup against the New York Giants. Now, days ahead of the rematch, they’re a much more respectable group, ranking 13th in yards allowed, sixth against the pass and 10th in points allowed.
There’s still more for the unit to work on as they enter the second half of the season, but Quinn hopes the Bears game is another step in the right direction.
