They’re big, bad and lethal.
The Washington Redskins on Sunday face a New York Jets defense that currently ranks first in the league in points allowed per game (13.8), second in total defense (280.2 yards per game) second in pass defense (188.5) and are fourth in third down conversation percentage (34.1).
Up front they have 2013 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Sheldon Richardson, 2015 first-round pick Leonard Williams, 2013 second-team All-Pro Muhammed Wilkerson and 2009 second-team All-Pro David Harris.
The secondary, meanwhile, is highlighted by six-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro Darrelle Revis and four-time Pro Bowler Antonio Cromartie.
